The in-laws of Nigeria’s late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu have opened up about her death and marriage to their brother, Peter Nwachukwu.
Richard Okekenwa, older brother to Osinachi’s husband, stated that he has not seen or spoken with him in the last 20 years.
According to Richard, “He doesn’t call me. I do not have anything to do with him”
The older sibling revealed that Peter Nwachukwu’s real name is Peter Echijekwu Okekenwa.
According to him, when their father died, Peter did not come home for the burial. He did the same thing when the father of his wife died.
Richard Okekenwa revealed that he heard of Osinachi’s death in the middle of the night when his own children called him to inform him.
According to him, he cried, not because of his brother, but because of Osinachi’s death.
He added that Peter has not called him or any family member to inform them of his wife‘s death.
On her part, Richard Okekenwa’s wife said the last time she saw Peter was the day he got married to Osinachi. She later called Osinachi on the phone but the singer and her husband were together, so they could not really speak.
Richard’s wife added that she was the one who registered Osinachi in their community wives’ meeting in the village.
According to the co-wife, for more than 15 years, since Osinachi joined the family, she has not set her eyes on her.
