Before rising to fame, she appeared in numerous popular gospel songs, including “Nara Ekele” by Pastor Paul Enenche (Dunamis, Abuja) and Emma’s “You no dey use me play”
Immediately her tragic death went viral, her family, children, friends, and other acquaintances, turned to social media to disclose that the singer had endured domestic abuse at the hands of her husband, Peter Nwachukwu, leading to her death.
However according to her husband, Peter Nwachukwu‘s testimony in court, his wife died of lung cancer and that he never assaulted her.
“Let me tell the entire world that I have suffered greatly.” I’ve been left behind. Cancer of the lungs killed my wife; I did not beat her. My wife, Osinachi Nwachukwu, died of lung cancer, therefore I’m suffering for something I don’t understand…”
Peter Nwachukwu was later sentenced to death by hanging after a Nigerian court found him guilty of domestic violence meted out to his wife leading to her death.
May her soul continue to rest in peace.
