The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc(+), NPM, fdc, has assured that justice would be served swiftly and Osinachi Nwachukwu’s husband would be charged to Court if it is established that he is responsible for her death.
The famous gospel musician, Osinachi Nwachukwu, died on Friday, 8th April 2022, after allegedly suffering from domestic violence at the hands of her husband, Peter Nwachukwu.
Following a report of culpable homicide by the deceased brother, operatives of FCT Command arrested her husband at about 5: 00 pm on Sunday, 10th April 2022, at their residence in Lugbe, Abuja, and an investigation is still ongoing.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Force Spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Kedem Tallen, OFR, paid a courtesy visit to the IGP at the Louis Edet House, Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Wednesday, where she stressed the plight of women in Nigeria, particularly in relation to gender and domestic-based violence.
The Inspector-General of Police noted that the untimely death of Osinachi is heart-breaking particularly as information from sources close to the family and independent witnesses fingered her husband, Peter Nwachukwu, as being responsible for her death.
According to the IGP, the Command has approached the National Hospital, Abuja, for post-mortem examinations on the deceased to ascertain the cause of death.
Meanwhile, the IGP stressed that the alleged act is condemnable in all ramifications as it is both illegal and immoral for one human to take the life of another in any manner contrary to the provisions of the law.
He reiterated the commitment of the Force under his leadership to ensuring that cases of domestic violence, sexual and gender-based violence, rape, and other social vices are accorded utmost attention to bring their perpetrators to justice.
