Osinachi’s mother reveals more on deceased singer’s husband
Mother of late singer Osinachi has revealed more on the maltreatment of the deceased by her husband, Peter Nwachukwu.
Osinachi, 42, died penultimate Friday after she was admitted to a hospital in Abuja.
Her husband, Peter Nwachukwu had claimed she died of sore throat, but her friends claimed she might be a victim of domestic violence.
Speaking, madam Oriaku Nmadu, Osinachi’s mother said: “My daughter went through hell in the hands of Peter. My daughter had four children and I could not go for omugwo (babysitting) for any of the children because her husband would not want to see any member of Osinachi’s family.”
She also mentioned a scene where Peter abandoned his wife and mother-in-law and drove home with the children.
“That Sunday after the church service as we were waiting for Peter Nwachukwu, he came out and ordered his children into the car and drove off, leaving me and my daughter behind. I was shocked because it was a well-wisher that gave my daughter that car Peter was driving.
“Instead of Osinachi to complain, she rushed out and got a taxi that drove us home,” she added.
According to her, there was another car a fan gave Osinachi which her husband allegedly took from her.
She said at every misunderstanding, he would abandon his wife and drive off.
“On one occasion, the children inside the car were saying bye-bye to their mother; he never allowed the wife to enjoy the fruit of her labour,” Madam Nmadu added.
While appealing to the female group to help the family get justice, she said the couple’s children were with one of her daughters.
“Osinachi believed in the Biblical injunction that marriage is for better and for worse and that was why she endured the marriage thinking that Peter Nwachukwu would change, but unfortunately my daughter died,” she said.
The Abia State Chairman of NAWOJ, Mrs Beatrice Odoemelem, assured Osinachi’s mother that the group would not relent until justice was served.
