Ekwueme Gospel Song Singer’s Husband Sentenced To Death By Hanging

The “Ekwueme” global gospel song hitmaker, Osinachi Nwachukwu, born a Nigerian, tragically passed away on April 8, 2022. The singer’s tragic passing left a lot of fans across Nigeria and beyond shocked.

After the passing of Osinachi, her death was speculated by many to be caused by throat cancer. However, close friends and family members of the singer disputed the speculations, revealing that the singer was a victim of prolonged domestic abuse by her husband, Peter Nwachuku.

It was alleged that the “Ekwueme” hitmaker’s husband continuously assaulted her, physically and emotionally blackmailed her, and financially manipulated her. Subsequent revelations suggested he had allegedly induced the death of the popular singer after a violent incident. She was reportedly hospitalised after being kicked in the chest by her husband, which led to her passing.

Peter Nwachuku was arrested on April 11, 2022, after his atrocities were revealed and several charges were levelled against him, including culpable homicide, spousal battery, and child cruelty.

Throughout Peter’s trial, a number of proofs were presented before the court, as well as countless testimonies from witnesses, including his own children.

After being found guilty of all charges against him, the singer’s husband was sentenced to death by hanging on April 28, 2025, by the Federal Capital Territory court in Abuja.

Osinachi’s tragic death has brought pain and rage to a lot of people, drawing attention to the dangerous nature of domestic violence endured by many in abusive relationships who find it difficult to leave because of social stigma.
