Osinachi Nwachukwu

Osinachi Nwachukwu was the unfortunate victim of domestic violence as her husband Peter Nwachukwu going by the accounts of several witnesses including their children – turned into a monster that beat her at the slightest provocation.
Osinachi reportedly died due to complications from a kick on the chest and not from a cancer-related sickness as disclosed by the husband.
Peter Nwachukwu, husband of Osinachi, has since been arrested by the police.
