Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of late gospel singer, Osinachi has denied the domestic violence allegations levelled against him.
Osinachi died on Friday after after being hospitalised for days following assaults she received from her husband.
Speaking from police custody, Peter Nwachukwu, who was arrested on Monday, said his late wife has been battling an illness since November last year. He added that 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.
Following his confession, Mr. Nwachukwu was led in handcuffs and taken back to their family house to provide evidence of the hospitals he claimed to have taken his deceased wife to for treatment.
An autopsy has also been carried out on the late singer’s corpse to ascertain the real cause of her death.
While the police await the autopsy test results, there are confirmed reports that Mr. Nwachukwu has been transferred to the force headquarters in Abuja for further interrogations.
