How Osinachi's death sparked outrage across Nigeria
The untimely death of the famous gospel singer on Friday, April 8 was allegedly linked to the husband, Peter Nwachukwu.
Peter was said to have had a habit of pummeling his wife, even in front of their kids, at any given opportunity.
The report is expected to send Peter to jail, as the Nigerian government had earlier vowed to ensure he is prosecuted if found guilty.
