‘My father once pushed out mum from the car to walk home from church’- Osinachi’s son

The first-born of the late Gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu has narrated how his mum was once pushed out of their car when they were returning from a Wednesday church service and she had to walk home.

The boy shared the experience with a friend of the deceased, Ene Ogbe, who paid the children a visit at their home in Abuja.

Osinachi’s first son told Ogbe that his father, Nwachukwu, flared up in arguments with their mother and often resorted to beating her.

Ogbe who shared her findings on social media said the boy told her that her mum was gifted two vehicles but that his father would sometimes disallow her from taking any of the vehicles out and ask her to take commercial motorcycles (okada) as punishment for perceived wrong-doing.

Ogbe posted: “By God’s grace, I was in our beloved late sister’s house this evening again and am glad that the police actually arrested him. But what baffles me is the way and manner he has polluted the children’s minds!! I had a chat with the firstborn, and I almost started crying again.

“This boy told me the ordeal his mom has been going through with his dad, how he beats her up in any little argument, he said aunty; my dad pushed my mom out of the car at night after Wednesday service, and bad boys snatched my mom’s bag that night, how mom got home that night I can’t tell because dad left her, people dashed my mom this two cars (pointed at them for me to see) but dad at times will say my mom should take bike while we go in the car, even when we are coming back from church my mom will stand under the sun and we will drive and pass her and we will wave at her, my dad told us that beating women is good.

“I had to cut in the conversation, and I told him it is very wrong to beat a woman and that God is against it, and I talk sense into him. He said they are happy that their dad was arrested because he shouted and beat them up.

“The second-born sang for us too; he has a golden voice like the mom. The first said my mom always keeps quiet for my daddy and she always forgives, and now she has died and I told him not to worry as his mom is in heaven!!! May the soul of our beloved sister rest in peace and may God take care of the four kids she left behind Amen!!”
