The family of the late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, has debunked an earlier claim that the singer whose death was announced on Friday died of cancer.
A sister to the late singer, Ms Favor Made, has now corroborated a story which alleged that the singer died of domestic violence.
According to Made, Osinachi died as a result of a cluster of blood in the chest from the kicking she got from her husband, Mr Peter Nwachukwu.
She also disclosed that before her death, the singer was severally advised to leave her matrimonial home for safety but she declined, with the hope that God would eventually change the man for the better.
“We heard it was cancer that killed Osinachi. She did not die of cancer. The husband, Mr Peter Nwachukwu hit her with his leg on the chest. All this while, he has been beating her but my sister hid all that she was passing through from us.
“We told her that they were not divorcing and that it’s just a separation. But she felt that God is against divorce. We told her that separation is not a sin but just for her to stay alive and take care of her children. She would always tell us to relax and that the man would change.
“So when the man kicked her in the chest, she fell down and he took her to the hospital but he did not even tell us.
“It was her friend who lives in Ebonyi State that called her twin sister because Osinachi has a twin sister, to ask, ‘did your sister tell you that Peter hit her on the chest?’ The sister then told her no.
“It was the hitting on the chest that killed her. My brother had to ask the doctor what killed her and the doctor said that there were clusters of blood on her chest,” she revealed.
Made further stated that the doctor was not aware that Osinachi was kicked in the chest.
According to her, Peter had boasted that he was going to separate Osinachi and her twin sister and stopped her from being close or visiting her village, Isuochi in Abia State.
She also alleged that he beat her sister severely and was fond of collecting her money while she was left with nothing.
Made added that Peter did not contact their family when Osinachi died until 8:00 p.m. when he casually informed their mother of the death and that Peter had not been arrested as alleged in some quarters.
