FG Charges Late Osinachi’s husband, Peter Nwachukwu With Death Sentence 16 Months After
The Federal Government has filed 23-count charges against Peter Nwachukwu, husband of the late popular gospel singer, Osinachi, who died on April 8 last year, after being allegedly assaulted by her husband.
It happened that after the death of the “Ekwueme” singer, several reports came in that her husband was the cause of her death.
It was gathered that a series of testimonies also came from their children, Osinachi’s sisters, and parents which all proved that Peter was an abusive husband.
He was therefore charged under sections 104 and 379 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, by the Attorney-General of the Federation.
He was charged with culpable homicide contrary to section 221 of the Penal Code which is punishable with death by hanging.
Some of the testimonies accused Peter of beating and stomping her wife’s abdomen on several occasions.
The accusations were so serious that even his children confirmed that their father used to beat their mom when she was alive.
