Peter Nwachukwu, the embattled husband of the late gospel singer Osinachi has said that his wife died of lung cancer.
This is contrary to public opinion that she died from the beating he allegedly gave to her over time.
Recall that Nwachukwu who has been in detention for over a month was accused of allegedly killing his wife who died in April.
The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice had on Friday, June 3, arraigned Nwachukwu on a 23-count charge bordering on domestic violence and homicide.
Though the Abuja National Hospital had performed an autopsy on Osinachi, the result was handed over to the police.
Testifying before the court, Nwachukwu, who pleaded his innocence said;
“Let me tell the whole world, I have suffered a lot. I have been abandoned. What killed my wife was cancer of the lungs, I didn’t hit my wife.
Cancer of the lungs killed my wife, Osinachi Nwachukwu, so I’m suffering for what I do not know,” he said while being moved from the courtroom.
Despite his plea of innocence, the court ordered that he be remanded in the Kuje Correctional Facility till the end of the trial.
