Domestic violence: If Osinachi had told me, I would have fought for her – Uma Ukpai
Preacher and President of the Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association Incorporated, Rev. Uma Ukpai, said if late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, had told him about her predicament and domestic violence he would have fought for her.
Ukpai stated this in an interview with journalists on Saturday ahead of his special Easter evangelism session scheduled to take place at the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly in the Guzape District of Abuja.
WITHIN NIGERIA recall that the 42-year-old artiste died on Friday after spending days at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja.
This publication had also reported that the husband of the late Dunamis Church lead singer, Peter Nwachukwu, has been arrested over the death of his wife.
The case was transferred on Monday from the police division to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department.
Speaking on Osinachi’s death, Ukpai said the incidence would have been averted if the late artiste had voiced out her plight.
The 77-year-old clergyman, who said Osinachi sang for him three times stated that the deceased acted like someone who had no one to help her.
He said, “The girl that died sang for me about three times and she never told me she had a problem. As someone popular, if a man was molesting her, she should have raised her voice and attracted help. People like me, I am ready to help her to confront the man.
“I once lost a sister through maltreatment by her husband. I cried and I promised myself that I will not allow another woman to go through that pain. If she had told us, we would have fought for her.
“She acted like someone that has no one to help her. Information is all what we need and we would have confronted him but I know God is already fighting for her.”
