Senior pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Pastor Paul Enenche, and others have arrived at the venue of the burial ceremony for the late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu.

Religion Nigeria gathered that the ‘Ekwueme’ singer was buried in her home town in Amakpoke Umuaku community, Abia State, two months after her tragic demise in April.

A night of worship was held in Osinachi’s honour in Abuja on Thursday, followed by a Night of Prayer held in Isochi, Umunoci in Abia on Friday.

Osinachi was said to have been a victim of domestic violence and her family accused the late singer’s husband Peter Nwachukwu of assaulting her (Osinachi), leading to her death.

The Federal Government, last month, charged Peter with culpable homicide contrary to section 221 of the Penal Code which is punishable with death.
