- Husband not arrested despite serial reports of domestic violence
Ms Favour Made, elder sister of late Gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu has confirmed that serial domestic abuses by Peter Nwachukwu led to her death.
According to her, Peter’s last beastly act, kicking Osinachi on the chest, led to her death.
Doctors found clusters of blood clot in her heart and they failed to save her.
Favour opened up to Vanguard newspaper in an interview as she reeled out the series of inhumane treatment her sister got from her husband, before her untimely death.
She debunked earlier news that Osinachi succumbed to throat ulcer.
According to Favour, “she (Osinachi) did not die of cancer. The husband, Mr Peter Nwachukwu hit her with his leg on the chest. All this while, he has been beating her but my sister hides all that she was passing through from us.
“Before now, we have told her to come out of the marriage, we told her that they are not divorcing and that it’s just a separation. But she felt that God is against divorce.
“We told her that separation is not a sin but just for her to stay alive and take care of her children. She will always tell us to relax and that the man will change.
“So when the man kicked her in the chest, she fell down and he took her to the hospital but he did not even tell us.
“It was her friend who lives in Ebonyi state that called her twin sister because Osinachi has a twin sister, to ask, ‘did your Sister tell you that Peter hit her on the chest? The sister then told her no.
“It was the hitting on the chest that killed her. My brother had to ask the doctor what killed her and the doctor said that there were clusters of blood clot on her chest.
“Unfortunately, they did not tell the doctor that she was kicked in the chest because the doctor could have known what to do if he had an idea of what happened.
“Each time we talked to her, she will be pleading for peace and if we move to act, she will tell us no, that we should calm down.”
Osinachi and her husband were living in Abuja, where she died. The marriage produced three boys and one girl.
According to Favour, Osinachi and Peter met during one of her ministrations.
“Nwachukwu saw how my sister was ministering, he then fell in love with her,” she said.
Favour also revealed that Peter has not been arrested.
“My younger brother who had gone to see the children said Nwachukwu is not arrested, he is in his house in Abuja. When my brother got there, the children were so happy to see him and they told him that they want to come and see their grandmother who is my mother.”
