Members of the press were barred from covering and witnessing the testimonies of the late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu children at the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja.

This occurred at the court premises today, July 15, 2022.

As revealed, the move was a result of the court granting the three oral applications made by Aderonke Imana, the prosecution counsel, on June 22.

The counsel filed the applications during the court hearing in the alleged culpable homicide case against Peter Nwachukwu, the late singer’s husband.

The first one was brought pursuant to the provision of sections 156 and 158 of the Child Rights Act.

The application sought that persons other than the parties in the matter, the court officials, correctional staff and the witness’ guardians should not be allowed in the court when the witnesses would give their testimonies.

The second application Imana brought was premised on section 160 of the Child Rights Act and section 209 of the Evidence Act.

The application prayed the court to allow the other two witnesses, who are the deceased children, being minors to give unsworn evidence as Pw3 and Pw4.
