Mr Peter Nwachukwu, husband of late popular gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu has denied killing his wife.
Recall Peter is currently in the news for allegedly beating his wife to death.
However, he has denied ever battering or assaulting his wife.
Speaking from police custody, Peter Nwachukwu said his late wife had been ill since November last year.
He said 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.
At about 11a.m on Monday, April 11, 2021, Mr Nwachukwu was handcuffed and escorted into the police van stationed in front of the Lugbe police station in Abuja.
The police said they were driving him to their house to provide evidence of the hospitals he claimed to have taken his deceased wife to for treatment.
Meanwhile, an autopsy has now been carried out on the famous Nigerian gospel musician Osinachi Nwachukwu’s corpse to ascertain the real cause of her death.
The autopsy became necessary after the late singer’s husband, alleged to have been responsible for her death, denied any wrongdoing.
While the police awaits the autopsy test results, Mr Nwachukwu has been transferred to the force headquarters in Abuja for further interrogations.
Late Osinachi was a lead singer at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
