Fani-Kayode’s estranged wife hits Osinachi’s critics

The avoidable and unfortunate death of gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu has really exposed a lot of things and also opened the minds of many.

Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has slammed those blaming the late soulful gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, for not speaking up whilst she was allegedly assaulted by her husband, Peter Nwachukwu.

In a post on her verified Facebook page on Thursday night, the former beauty queen and estranged wife of Fani-Kayode said the apostles of patriarchy would have shamed and silenced the late 42-year-old singer had she raised the alarm that she was being physically abused by her partner.

Chikwendu also released photos showing her bloodied nose, legs and other parts of her body as evidence of the abuse allegedly suffered whilst she co-habited with the ex-minister.

The 32-year-old mother of four, who had accused Fani-Kayode of brutalising her whilst she was staying with him, added that some wife-batterers, buoyed by societal applause, “walked free and even contested to be president in the next election.”

Of late, the ex-minister and member of the All Progressives Congress, who is facing money laundering charges with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has been seen campaigning for Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, to become Nigeria’s President in 2023.

Also, for over a week since the death of Osinachi and the outrage trailing the distasteful circumstances that surrounded her passing, Fani-Kayode has not condemned domestic violence on his social media accounts.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that Osinachi died last Friday after spending days at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja.

Colleagues of Osinachi, who was a lead singer at the Dunamis International Headquarters, Abuja, accused her husband of beating her while the church said it was not aware of the assault.
