In a landmark ruling on Monday, Justice Njideka Nwosu-Iheme of the High Court in the Federal Capital Territory, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, sentenced Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of late gospel singer Osinachi, to death by hanging. Nwachukwu was found guilty of culpable homicide, which resulted in the tragic death of Osinachi on April 8, 2022.

The court’s decision follows months of legal proceedings, during which Nwachukwu was charged with several serious crimes, including spousal abuse, criminal intimidation, and cruelty to children. The prosecution successfully presented its case, leading to Nwachukwu’s conviction.

Conviction for Culpable Homicide

Peter Nwachukwu’s conviction stems from the brutal actions that led to the death of Osinachi, a beloved gospel singer. The court found that the prosecution had met the legal requirements, proving that Nwachukwu’s actions directly caused Osinachi’s death. Nwachukwu was arrested in June 2022, with the Attorney-General of the Federation leading the prosecution against him. The charges included 23 counts, with the most severe being the culpable homicide charge that led to his death sentence.

The trial included the testimony of 17 witnesses, including two of Osinachi’s children, who spoke out against Nwachukwu’s abuse. Their testimonies played a crucial role in securing the conviction. Despite these powerful statements, Nwachukwu’s defense tried to argue his innocence, but the court ultimately found him guilty.

Sentencing and Reactions

After delivering the verdict, Justice Nwosu-Iheme sentenced Nwachukwu to death by hanging for the primary charge of culpable homicide. On other charges, including cruelty to children and spousal battery, Nwachukwu received various sentences, including two years imprisonment for multiple counts and fines. His legal team, led by Reginald Nwali, requested leniency, while the prosecution, represented by Mrs. Aderonke Imala, urged the court to apply the full extent of the law.

This ruling has sparked widespread discussion about domestic violence and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable. The case has highlighted the need for stronger legal protections for victims of domestic abuse in Nigeria.

A Landmark Ruling Against Domestic Violence

Peter Nwachukwu’s conviction and death sentence represent a crucial moment in the fight against domestic violence in Nigeria. The case serves as a reminder of the dangers of abuse in relationships and the need for legal reforms to protect victims. The death sentence for Nwachukwu may set a precedent for future cases of domestic violence, ensuring that justice is served for those who suffer in silence.

This verdict also brings justice to Osinachi’s family, especially her children, who endured a traumatic experience under Nwachukwu’s abuse. With this decision, the court has sent a clear message that domestic violence will not be tolerated, and those responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
