Be careful who you marry – Osinachi’s mother advices singles

Madam Oriaku Nmadu, the mother of the late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, has advised singles, especially the ladies, to be careful with picking a marital spouse.

Madam Oriaku, who hails from the Isuochi Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State, is also demanding justice for her daughter.

Osinachi, 42, died penultimate Friday after being admitted to a hospital in Abuja.

Some of her friends alleged that her husband, Peter, maltreated and assaulted her several times before she died.

Mrs Nmadu, who poured out her heart while speaking to members of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, advised single ladies to be careful when selecting their spouses.

She said when Peter came for her daughter’s hand in marriage, he presented himself as a pastor from Anambra State.

She noted that shortly after the marriage, Peter shut the doors to Osinachi’s family “and completely possessed her”.

“My daughter went through hell in the hands of Peter. My daughter had four children and I could not go for omugwo (babysitting) for any of the children because her husband would not want to see any member of Osinachi’s family,” she added.
