The son of the late gospel singer Osinachi Chukwu Ekwueme revealed how his father Pastor Peter Nwachukwu teach him and other children that beating women is good.

Newsflash Nigeria had earlier reported that gospel singer, Osinachi died in the late hours of Friday 8th, April 2022, after she had been on life support for five days at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja.

The children of Osinachi narrated how their father maltreated the Ekwueme crooner while she was alive.

Osinachi’s first son disclosed that his father, Nwachukwu, was in the habit of beating up his mother during little arguments.

He recounted how his father pushed his mother out of the car and forced her to walk back home after a Wednesday church service.

In a conversation with the deceased’s friend, Ene Ogbe, the young boy said his father told them that it was good to beat women.

Ogbe disclosed that he confided in her that their father seized two vehicles given to the late singer while asking her to board bikes.

Revealing her conversation with the deceased children, Ogbe said: “By God’s grace, I was in our beloved late sister’s house this evening again and am glad that the police actually arrested him.

“But what baffles me is the way and manner he has polluted the children’s minds!! I had a chat with the firstborn, and I almost started crying again.

“This boy told me the ordeal his mom has been going through with his dad, how he beats her up in any little argument, he said aunty; my dad pushed my mom out of the car at night after Wednesday service, and bad boys snatched my mom’s bag that night, how mom got home that night I can’t tell because dad left her, people dashed my mom this two cars (pointed at them for me to see) but dad at times will say my mom should take bike while we go in the car, even when we are coming back from church my mom will stand under the sun and we will drive and pass her and we will wave at her, my dad told us that beating women is good.

“I had to cut in the conversation, and I told him it is very wrong to beat a woman and that God is against it, and I talk sense into him. He said they are happy that their dad was arrested because he shouted and beat them up.

“The second-born sang for us too; he has a golden voice like the mom. The first said my mom always keeps quiet for my daddy and she always forgives, and now she has died and I told him not to worry as his mom is in heaven!!! May the soul of our beloved sister rest in peace and may God take care of the four kids she left behind Amen!!”

Osinachi is believed to have died due to domestic violence she suffered from her husband.

Meanwhile, Abuja Police Command has arrested Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of the late popular gospel artiste Sister Osinachi “Ekwueme” over the death of his wife.

Mr Peter Nwachukwu was arrested on Sunday afternoon, Newsflash Nigeria learnt.

Friends and the family of the late gospel singer have accused her husband of beating her.

Ms Favour Made, who is the elder sister of the late Osinachi, exposed all the inhumane treatments her sister got from her husband, before her untimely death.

She said, “her 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”.

Elder sister of the late Osinachi said “Mr Peter kicked her in the chest, she fell down and he took her to the hospital but he did not even tell us”.

Colleagues of Osinachi, who was a lead singer at the Dunamis International Headquarters, Abuja, accused her husband of beating her.

A popular singer, Frank Edwards, in a live Instagram video, alleged that Osinachi’s husband abused her on several occasions.

He said, “One time in a studio, this man slapped her just because she wanted to record the song in Igbo against his will. She does not do anything on her own.

“She would say, please beg my husband. She was at his mercy. I didn’t know the intensity of what she was going through; I didn’t know how somebody would be jealous of the wife he claimed to love.

“There are a lot of stories where people told her this and that, but what I know was that the control was too much. The other time somebody wanted me to get her for an event, and I contacted her, but she said ‘beg my husband.’

“She couldn’t even tell people what she was going through. I only got to know because Aunty Joy contacted me to promote her song. That was when I got a glimpse into what was happening.”

Another gospel artiste, Asu Ekiye, called for the arrest of her husband.

He said, “If what I hear about domestic abuse is anything to go by, then I hereby endorse the call for the arrest of the husband of Osinachi immediately for questioning.”
