Family members
of late gospel music star, Osinachi Nwachukwu say they just discovered
that her husband was previously married before he met and married the
singer.
Vanguard reports that
Nwachukwu is believed to have wedded the woman in a church but hid the
union from Osinachi and her family.
The said romance, which began before Nwachukwu sought
the hand of the late gospel artiste in marriage, is believed to have gone south
after the woman bore him a child. These facts came to the fore when
one of the children of the deceased gospel star found an old photo album hidden
in his father’s room.
Narrating how he
discovered the photo album which exposed Mr. Nwachukwu’s secret, the child said
“One day, my
father was away and forgot to lock up his room. So, I entered and a voice
within told me to explore the room. Then, I saw the album and out of curiosity,
I opened it and saw daddy’s old photographs. From the photos, I could see that
my daddy lived a wayward life.
So, I closed the album and kept it where
daddy hid it. I couldn’t tell mummy or anyone because I was very afraid that
daddy will kill me if he found out that I knew about the photos. Mummy once
tried to search for things like this (album) in daddy’s room, but could not
find anything.”
According to the
report, after the child brought out the hidden secret album for the world to
see, the already distraught relatives of the late gospel singer were shocked to
know that Mr. Peter Nwachukwu, was hitherto married to another woman in a
church long before coming for Osinachi’s hand in marriage about 10 years ago.
Osinachi’s family
said they never knew of his previous marriage
“We never knew Nwachukwu was previously
married to another woman. If ever we knew about it prior to now, we may not
have allowed Osinachi to marry him. Osinachi must have been through a lot of
pain which she, unfortunately, kept away from us.”
The late singer
died last Friday, April 8, from injuries she allegedly sustained after her
husband allegedly beat her up. Relatives and friends claim Mr
Nwachukwu had over the years subjected the singer to series of verbal and
physical abuse.
Mr Nwachukwu is
currently in police custody, while a post-mortem examination on Late Osinachi's
body will be carried out at the National Hospital, Abuja on Wednesday, April
13, to ascertain the cause of her death.
