An autopsy has been carried out on the famous Nigerian gospel musician Osinachi Nwachukwu’s corpse to ascertain the real cause of her death.
According to sources with knowledge of the ongoing investigation, the autopsy was carried out on Monday and it became necessary after the late singer’s husband, alleged to have been responsible for her death, denied any wrongdoing.
Mr Nwachukwu said his late wife had been ill since November last year. He said he first took her to Federal Medical Center (FMC), later to Gwagwalada General hospital, and then to National hospital, where she finally died.
He, however, failed to disclose the nature of her illness.
At about 11:am on Monday, our correspondent saw Mr Nwachukwu handcuffed and escorted into the police van stationed in front of the Lugbe police station in Abuja.
The police said they were driving him to their house to provide evidence of the hospitals he claimed to have taken his deceased wife to for treatment.
While the police await the autopsy test results, Mr Nwachukwu has been transferred to the force headquarters in Abuja for further interrogations.
Sources who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES said they don’t want their names in print as they were not permitted to speak on the case.
