Reacting to her death, popular singer Frank Edwards claimed that Osinachi’s husband abused her on different occasions in a live Instagram video.

The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the arrest, saying the suspect is currently in their custody.
“The man, Peter Nwachukwu is currently in our custody. A family member of the deceased lodged a report at Lugbe police station. “Following the complaint, we arrested the suspect and the investigation is currently ongoing. We will make findings,” said Adeh.
A 42-year-old singer Osinachi passed away on Friday at undisclosed hospital in Abuja.
