The Federal Capital Territory Police Command on Thursday
said an autopsy test was being conducted on the remains of late Dunamis
International Church lead singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu.
A police source told our correspondent that the autopsy,
which should have been done on Wednesday, was delayed because of the absence of
some family members, adding that the process started on Thursday at the
National Hospital Abuja, where she died.
The source said, “You know there have been speculations
about her death. The husband is insisting that he died due to an illness. The
autopsy was not done yesterday (Wednesday) because everyone had to be
represented before they commence, but some people were absent, that was why
they couldn’t do it. It is in stages, but I call tell you that the process
commenced today.”
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh,
confirmed the development.
“The autopsy is part of the investigation,” she added.
The late Osinachi died on Friday at 42.
A popular singer, Frank Edwards, had in a live Instagram
video accused Osinachi’s husband, Peter, of maltreating and beating her.
The Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, while quoting
the children of the deceased, also said Osinachi was beaten by her husband.
Osinachi's husband, Peter was arrested and
detained at the Lugbe Police Division after the younger brother of the deceased
reported the matter.
Meanwhile, the Senate has urged the police and all relevant
law enforcement agencies to investigate Osinachi’s death and give the family
justice.
The Senate said the lives of all citizens must be accounted
for by those in authority.
The President of the
Senate, Ahmad Lawan, made the call in his remarks moments before the Senate
held a minute silence in honour of the deceased.
While coming under Order 42 of the Senate Standing Orders on
Personal Explanation, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah (Anambra South), drew the attention
of the chamber to the death of the singer.
Reacting to the widely reported news, the Senate President
said, “The authorities should investigate the death of this citizen; the life
of every citizen must matter. This is one death too many.”
