Details: Allegations, Counter Allegations Over Osinachi Nwachukwu’s Death

Frank Edwards was alleged to have said she died from domestic violence. This is according to his earlier Twit regarding Osinachi Nwachukwu’s death.

A US based friend of hers, Barrister Chidinma Ezego also posted a similar write up alluding to the fact that she died from domestic violence, and that her husband had been arrested.

Many reactions on the need for women/men, especially women to run away from an abusive marriage have dominated the social media since the news about her death broke.

Many have also insisted that pastors needed to do more, instead of encouraging women to submit to an abusive husband.

Fada Oluoma has also advised women not to die avoidable deaths…

DON’T DIE AVOIDABLE DEATH.

In one of the parishes I worked, a woman always came to me with bloodied nose and swollen face, fatal decoration from the man she called her husband. It was always a dilemma counselling her because I could see her helplessness. The next thing she feared more than loosing her life to her beastly husband was actually losing her marriage to him. To worsen her case, she didn’t have anything doing economically.

Long story short, I finally convinced her to run for her life, after receiving more bouts of life threatening beatings. I paid for her transportation to her Uncle’s house. After two weeks, she came telling me that the man called and begged her to come back, she was obviously looking for my approval for her chicken hearted and Lilly livered disposition. In my magnanimity, I chased her back to her uncle’s house.

After some months, the man went to beg. When I was consulted, I told the uncle to give the man two major conditions: 1. Empower the woman economocally. 2. Deposit an undertaken never to beat her with the police and the uncle.

Death in marriage by the hand of an abusive spouse is avoidable, don’t honor it. We all woke up to the sad news of the death of Osinachi, a gospel singer, famously known for the song EKWUEME. suddenly, the cause of her death started filtering. I’m now reading that she died from injuries from violence by her husband.

The news going round now is that she’s been enduring this violence for years. So, her death, for me, was avoidable. Whatever made her to stay in that marriage despite constant life threatening violence CAN NEVER be godly.

There’s nothing pious and righteous about enduring life threatening violence till death. The Bible never says ” Blessed are those who are killed by their husbands or wives, for theirs is the kingdom” nope, it rather says “Blessed are you when men persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you on my account, rejoice and be glad for your reward will be great in heaven” Mtt 5:11-12.

If spousal violence is the cause of Osinachi’s death, she won’t be the first, I don’t know if she will be the last, but I hope her’s will help in the liberation of many women in such situation.

The Catholic Church has no place for divorce in marriage, it’s not a lexicon in catholic sacramental theology. Yet, there’s separation and dissolution. Separation is allowed when the life of any spouse is realistically threatened. It’s called SEPARATION FROM BOARD AND BED.

So hear me once more, run away from the spouse that want to kill you by any means, run for your life. Some women find it difficult to run because the man is their only source of sustenance, this is why Osinachi’s case befuddles me. She’s a celebrity, so I don’t think she can’t cater for herself or kids in the event of separation, if the story is true.

I repeat, there’s nothing godly, pious or Christian about staying with a man who beats you mercilessly and puts your life in danger. God can save you miraculously from accident, armed robbers, bandits etc but you see a violent husband or wife, you have to save yourself: RUN.

Ladies, get a job or career or trade, just have something doing for a living, marriage is not employment or social welfare for jobless women. You will need it. If your husband is financially buoyant and negotiates with you to stay off work for the sake of raising your children, that’s fine by me, but insist on him paying you a reasonable amount you fix in an account for as long as you stay home for the kids, E get why.

May the soul of Osinachi and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.

However, some others have said that Osinachi Nwachukwu’s death was caused by Cancer of the throat…one of which is one Stephen Akpan 👇👇👇

On OSINACHI NWACHUKWU’S DEATH AND THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SAGA.
May the soul of the departed be with our Lord.

I have seen series of trends that she died of domestic violence, and the way to which people stake their belief on this without proper investigation is alarming.

Let us first assume that she was really in an abusive marriage and what her friend posted was true. How do we justify that she was not able to relate this to the public but confidently confide in her friends and church members ? And then of all those church members, no one ever posted about her unhealthy marriage not until after her demise.

I find it very skeptical and rather sentimental that after the demise of Aunty OSINACHI, the friend immediately pointed towards domestic violence and then very many false sympathizers came up with their own tales and versions of the kind of marriage the late was into.

Alright, I guess you must have already think I am supporting domestic violence or supporting the husband of the late. But my question remains, was it domestic violence that killed the minister ?

Medical reports has it that she has been hospitalized and on life support following a throat cancer for two months down to the day she died (8th April)

But then one Facebook user has already poisoned your minds with a claim that OSINACHI was allegedly kicked on the chest by her husband and was hospitalized and died five days later …

Are we saying that, The husband did the kicking in the hospital during that two month ? Or was late OSINACHI hospitalized for only 5 days . ?

I personally do not know about OSINACHI’s marriage and whether or not it was that which was into domestic violence, but then I stand to be corrected that such claims is untrue except there is a proof aside what has been posted after her death .

I am yet to see or hear that the late appeared matted, butchered, beaten up, hospitalized as a result of domestic violence or lets say domestic accident of any kind except that which we have been reading lately.

To conclude, people cite Frank Edwards page as a proof, is frank Edwards a member of Dunamis ? Has ever had a collab with the late ? Or lives anywhere close to the late ? Or because it is from Edwards it is infallible ?

Stop spreading rumours, they are sensitive at a time of mourning, let the dead be buried in peace.

Go check on Google right now,
Someone even claimed the husband of the late has been arrested, another claimed the husband has been killed too.
And check out someone will come posting it with all his strength and might and will quarrel you if you ask questions.

Stop staking your life, time, and energy on flying news and creating more social problems.

Shalom.

Others are praying that the truth is unearthed and culprits prosecuted.
