The death of Nigerian Ekwueme singer, Osinachi, has sparked a lot of conversations on social media with people speaking against domestic violence because it was known that the singer died out of domestic abuse by her husband.
New information coming out from the friend of Osinachi, Ene Ogbe, is that according to her, Osinachi’s husband repeatedly beat her and even encouraged her children to be preparators of domestic abuse.
To her, she visited her late friend’s house after her demise and her first son revealed instances where his father on several occasions threatened their mother’s life.
“ By God’s grace, I was in our beloved late sister’s house this evening again, and I’m glad that he was arrested by the police. But what baffles me is the way and manner he has polluted the children’s minds. I had a chat with the firstborn, and I almost started crying again.
“This boy told me the ordeal his mom has been going through with his dad, how he beats her up in any little argument. He said, aunty, my dad pushed my mom out of the car at night after wed service, and bad boys snatched my mom’s bag that night. How mom got home that night, I can’t tell cos dad left her. People dashed my mom these two cars (pointed at them for me to see), but dad, at times, will say my mom should take a bike while we go in the car. Even when we are coming back from church, my mom will stand under the sun. We will drive and pass her, and we will wave at her. My dad told us that beating women is good. I had to cut in the conversation, and I told him that it is very very wrong to beat a woman and that God is against it, and I talked sense into him.
He said they are happy that their dad was arrested because he shout and beat them up too. The second-born sang for us too. He has a golden voice like the mom”, the young boy recounted to his mother’s friend, Ene Ogbe.
Again, she said the young boy continued by saying that: ” my mom always keep quiet for my daddy and she always forgives, and now she has died.
“May the soul of our beloved sister rest in peace, and may God take care of her four kids she left behind. Amen!!,” Ene Ogbe concluded.
