‘The World Will Know The Truth’ – Lawyer To Late Osinachi’s Husband Speaks As Court Remands Suspect In Kuje Prison

Counsel for Peter Nwachukwu, Victor O. Abakpa, has reacted to reports accusing his client of allegedly killing his wife, late gospel singer, Osinachi.

The lawyer submitted that the world will soon know the truth about Osinachi’s death.

Naija News reports he stated this on Friday after the Federal Capital Territory High Court adjourned trial of Peter Nwachukwu who was arraigned on 23 count charges bordering on domestic violence and homicide to June 16 and 17 for trial.

Justice N.K. Nwosu-Iheme, on Friday also ordered that he be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Facility.

Victor said since his client has pleaded not guilty, the world will soon find out the truth.

“Surely justice will prevail, the world will come to know the truth. We cannot say more than that.

“You heard he pleaded not guilty, that’s our position for now until the case is proved otherwise,” the lawyer stated.

The suspect, who was handcuffed after the court rose, pleaded with the press that his wife died of cancer.

He also accused his in-laws of lying against him.

Recall, Nwachukwu’s wife Osinachi died on April 8 and many of her colleagues had accused her husband of subjecting the deceased to domestic violence, leading to her death.
