The Nigerian government, through the Ministry of Women Affairs has vowed to get justice for Osinachi Nwachukwu, the gospel singer who allegedly died of domestic violence.
The Minister, Pauline Tallen, in a statement on Monday said the late Osinachi would get justice even in death.
She also vowed to prosecute the husband of the deceased as Nigeria cannot continue to lose talented women to ‘mentally unstable men’.
This is coming after Osinachi’s sister confirmed that the singer died as a result of a blood cluster in the chest as a result of kicks she got from her husband, Mr Peter Nwachukwu.

“As with every news of domestic violence which spreads like wildfire, I was woken up to the news of the untimely death of one of Nigeria’s finest female gospel artists Osinachi who was said to have died as a result of cancer on 8th April 2022. This could have passed as one of those news stories, until new facts started emerging that she died as a result of domestic violence.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria and the states have declared zero tolerance for Gender-Based Violence. And so, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs under my watch will prosecute this matter to get justice for Osinachi.
“We cannot continue to keep losing our young women to mentally unstable young men all in the name of marriage. Life first before anything.”
Tallen also said the government would rehabilitate the children of the deceased, while the husband is made to face the law.
