Osinachi: “She slept in uncompleted building”: 8 things Osinachi’s children said about their father
Mr and Mrs Nwachukwu
Late Osinachi Nwachukwu’s four children opened up to former Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, about their household during the trial of their father.
A court in Abuja has since condemned Osinachi Nwachukwu’s widower (husband) to death by hanging for her death for the death of the gospel artist.
Amid the recent dilemma that has befallen the late Osinachi Nwachukwu’s household, TheTalk.NG reviews some of the testimony the deceased children made against their father, Mr Peter Nwachukwu.
On Monday, April 28, 2025, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, sentenced Peter Nwachukwu, the widower of the late gospel singer Osinachi, to death by hanging.
Mr Nwachukwu was found guilty of culpable murder as the court held that he caused the death of his wife on April 8, 2022.
The judge ruled that the prosecution met the standard of proof imposed by the law and thus found the defendant guilty. On June 3, 2022, the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (OAGF) charged Mr Nwachukwu with 23 counts, including culpable murder, which is punishable by death.
During the trial, the prosecution called 17 witnesses, including two children of the late Osinachi, who testified as the fourth and fifth prosecution witnesses.
In 2022, the children of the late prominent gospel singer Osinachi opened up about the disgusting tragedy they and their mother witnessed with their father, Peter Nwachukwu.
The youngsters reluctantly opened up to Pauline Tallen, who at that time was the Minister of Women Affairs.
Here are 8 things Osinachi’s children told Pauline Tallen, the former minister of Women Affairs
1. Osinachi was the breadwinner for the family. She brought in the money, which the husband spent anyway he pleased, giving the woman peanuts.
2. Peter Nwachukwu routinely beat his wife and the children together.
3. Osinachi would usually sleep over in an uncompleted building close to their home whenever that father began his torture.
4. Their father was always at home, while late Osinachi always ran around for gigs with her gospel music.
5. Any money that Osinachi got from her show performance they were all paid into the man’s bank account.
6. Mr Nwachuwku confiscated any physical money paid to Osianchi.
7. Mr Nwachukwu did not allow the late singer to have a personal bank account
8. The convicted man gave his late wife only peanuts for their household food.
Minister Pauline Tallen mentioned that she interviewed the children separately after and the three of them gave similar accounts about their father.
The politician revealed that she was traumatised by the confessional episode. And before she was done with the last person, she couldn’t fight back the tears in her eyes.
TheTalk.NG also reported that a Nigerian man prompted intense reactions online after meeting Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of the late gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu, whose death sparked a national outcry.
The individual, known as Chude on Elon Musk’s X, said he just met Mr. Nwachukwu at Kuje prison.
During their talk, he reported that the convicted man showed profound regret and remorse for the events that led to his collapse and the loss of his family.
In his words: “I met this man in Kuje prison, had a brief chat with him, he was full of regrets and remorse. So unfortunate it ended this way for him.”
