The lead pastor of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre Worldwide, Abuja, Pastor Paul Enenche, has broken silence on the demise of the late popular gospel artiste, Osinachi Nwachukwu, who was allegedly physically assaulted by her husband, Peter Nwachukwu.

Enenche in a recorded video broadcast posted across all his social media handles and on the church’s Facebook Page, Dunamis TV said he is oblivious of the abuse Osinachi suffered in the hands of her husband.

According to the pastor, all he knew was that the late Osinachi came with her husband over two months ago to complain about a chest pain. Enenche added that he prayed for the popular gospel singer at the initial stage but advised her to seek medical care when the pain persisted.

In his words, “Over two-and-a-half months to three months ago, she came to see me with her husband with complaints of chest pain and respiratory distress. I prayed for her and prayed again.

“When the symptoms did not abate, I counselled that they went to the hospital to help us know exactly what we were dealing with and they asked if I could help them facilitate that process. I called our head of medical team, Dr Osang, who is a consultant paediatrician with the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi (Nasarawa State) to assist to handle their situation.

“He called the FMC, Jabi (Abuja), where they attended to her. On seeing her, they ordered some examinations and investigations and that including CT scan. That was done, and from what the doctors saw, they felt there was the need for further investigation either at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital or the National Hospital, Abuja. I called the doctor at the UATH, Dr Akoh Alexander, and told him the situation.”

The pastor added it was until the demise of the late artiste that he knew about the alleged domestic violence by her husband.

The pastor continued, “Now if there was domestic violence that led to or coincided with those symptoms she came with two-and-a-half to three months ago, there is no way I would know. If there had been perennial domestic violence, there is no way I would have known.

“The things we are hearing after her passing were very strange to my hearing. Then, I began to ask questions. Then, I asked the twin sister, ‘Were you aware that your sister passed through all these things?’ She said yes, that she knew some of them, but that the majority of them she heard only from those she (Osinachi) confided in.

“I asked her, ‘If you knew, why didn’t you let us know?’ and she said, she (Osinachi) always begged her not to tell the pastor or the church that the man would change and asked for prayers. That continued to happen.”
