Pastor Paul Enenche finally clears the air on Osinachi Nwachukwu's Death

Latest on Late Gospel musician Osinachi Nwachukwu

 Following the arrest of Peter Nwachukwu, spouse of the late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, the children of the estranged couples are now left under the watch of a family friend to cater for their needs.

The Minister of Women Affairs Dame Tallen who visited the residence of late Osinachi disclosed that one Sunday Achino from the church where the late singer worshipped had taken up the responsibility since the arrest of their father on Sunday.

Operatives of the Lugbe Division had arrested Nwachukwu after the brother of the deceased reported a case of culpable homicide against him. The suspect was said to have domestically abused the deceased until her death on April 8.

A family source familiar with the case, however, revealed to THE WHISTLER that the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID).

The source said, “The matter has been transferred from the Lugbe Police Station to the SCIID for further investigation. The husband of the late gospel artiste is being detained at the SCIID”.

The FCT Spokesperson, DSP Josephine Adeh had also confirmed to journalists on Monday that the case was being treated at the homicide department of the SCIID and investigation is ongoing.

Meanwhile, the Women Affairs Minister has demanded that justice be served and the children of the deceased are protected from prying eyes.

After her long private session with the children, the Minister emerged to demand justice for the late singer stating that even though the extent of allegations and stories on the social media should be taken with caution, she stated that “There is no smoke without fire!”

She said, “On behalf of Nigerian Women and Mothers, I am demanding two things: Justice for the late ‘Ekwueme’ crooner who was alleged to have died as a result of gender-based violence perpetrated by the husband, as well as full protection for the children left behind by the late singer.”

“I have confidence in the Police and the Judicial system to ensure justice for the late singer, and I also demand that the children should be offered special protection; those are what the Nigerian women, whom I stand to represent are demanding of this situation.”

Biafra is a Spirit- Pastor Chris Okafor

The General overseer of mountain of liberation and miracles ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor, has opined that Biafra is a spirit and cannot be killed with guns, arrows, and not even with a nuclear bomb.

The pastor made this known while felicitating with Nigeria on her Independence Day celebration.

While Speaking on the Operation “Egwu Eke 2” in the South East of Nigeria, the acclaimed man of God stated that it’s unfair for the Nigerian government to deploy the full weight of the military in the manner they did to quell the secessionist agitations by the IPOB members and in fact the people of that region.

According to him,

“Our Government needs to learn how to resolve issues with dialogue. No amount of time or resources expended towards dialogue is a waste. ‘’

‘’This is not 1967. Anybody who thinks that they can kill an agitation like Biafra with force is truly living in fools’ paradise. It can never happen! Biafra is a spirit. Wasn’t it Ojukwu who started it? He’s gone but Biafra is still here.’’‘’You can’t kill a spirit with guns and arrows, not even with a nuclear bomb. If Ojukwu’s exit did not kill the agitation, how can any human being think or believe that Nnamdi Kanu’s exit will kill the agitation.’’
