Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis Gospel International Centre, Abuja, has finally spoken about the death of the late Nigerian gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu.
The singer died on April 8, 2022, at an Abuja hospital.
Until her death, Osinachi was a lead singer at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
She is said to have died due to health complications emanating from domestic violence.
In a video posted on his official Facebook page, Enenche said he decided to set the record straight by disclosing what he knew regarding the circumstances surrounding Osinachi’s death.
“We are in the season that calls for sober reflection in the light of the passing of our beloved sister, Osinachi Nwachukwu, in light of so much misinformation, in the light of so much misconstruction of events, I decided to set the record straight,” Enenche said.
Enenche said that the singer came to his office in the company of her husband, Peter Nwachukwu, some three months ago.
He said he prayed for her after she complained of chest pain.
According to him, when her condition did not improve, he advised them to go to the hospital for medical attention.
“I called the head of our medical team, Dr Osang, who is a Consultant Paediatrician at the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, to assist with their situation. He, in turn, called his colleagues at the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, where they attended to them."
“The doctors ordered a CT scan to be conducted. The doctors felt that there was a need for further investigation, either at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital or at the National Hospital in Abuja,” he said.
Enenche said that he was not aware that the singer was a victim of domestic violence.
“If there was domestic violence that led to or coincided with those symptoms that she came with three months ago, there is no way I would have known," he added.
Enenche said that he heard about the domestic violence allegations after the singer had died, and that's when he began to conduct his own investigations.
“I first I asked the twin sister if she was aware the singer was being assaulted. She said she was aware but Osinachi had told her to remain mum and pray for them," he said.
The pastor said the sister told him that Osinachi always begged her not to let the church know about her predicaments and that her husband would eventually change.
"I also spoke to other choir members who were aware of what was going on and they told me that Osinachi never wanted them to escalate the issue. They said she would beg them not to escalate the issue."
The pastor said that he has zero tolerance for domestic abuse.
