The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police Force on Tuesday said it would charge Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of popular gospel singer, Osinachi to court for culpable homicide over the death of his wife.
On Monday, Nwachukwu’s arrest by operatives of the FCT Police Command was announced. However, he has been transferred to the homicide department for further investigation.
Meanwhile, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, said Nwachukwu would be charged to court as soon as the investigation into the matter was concluded.
Nwachukwu, who is currently being detained at the Lugbe Police Station in the FCT, was arrested after the younger brother of the deceased reported the matter at the Police Station.
However, a source said, following the transfer of the case to the homicide department, the Police had made a certain revelation that would aid their investigation.
It said the Police already had in its possession a voice recording where the late singer narrated her ordeal while on admission at the hospital. In the voice recording, she was said to have narrated how her husband must be held responsible if anything happened to her.
The source said the voice message was a clear indication that the late singer was not going to come out of her ordeal alive.
Gospel singer, Frank Edwards, also disclosed that an “unreasonable human” put an end to her life.
There are reports that Osinachi refused to leave the marriage despite domestic violence because of her commitment to the church.
