I’ll Get Justice For Osinachi Nwachukwu, Women Affairs Minister Vows

Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, on Monday, vowed to get justice for the late popular gospel artiste, Osinachi Nwachukwu.

The 42-year-old artiste died on Friday after spending days at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja. Colleagues of Osinachi, who was a lead singer at the Dunamis International Headquarters, Abuja, accused her husband, Peter Nwachukwu, of beating her.

Subsequently, the husband was arrested by the police over the death of his wife.

Reacting to her death on Monday, the minister noted that with the singer’s death, “it is now truly obvious that violence knows no class or creed”.

She stated this in a statement she personally signed and titled, ‘The untimely death of one of Nigeria’s finest gospel artists’.

Tallen assured that the ministry “under my watch will prosecute this matter to get justice for Osinachi”.
