Two employees of the late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, on Tuesday told a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja that her husband, Peter Nwachukwu, verbally and physically abused her.
Adetunji Moses, a former personal assistant to Osinachi, while giving his testimony led by the prosecution counsel, Yewande Gbola- Awopetu, alleged that on different occasions, Mr Nwachukwu during rehearsals will refer to his wife as useless, lazy and indolent.
He said he worked with the defendant and his wife as a personal assistant and also a keyboardist from September 2018 to March 2021.
Mr Moses alleged that he left because he could no longer bear the anger of the defendant which was most times directed at him.
“In 2018, we travelled to Enugu. I was informed by the people who invited us that Mr Nwachukwu left strict instructions that nobody should be allowed to visit mummy Osinachi.
“It was later I got to know that her family resided in Enugu and they were the reason he gave the instructions.
“On another occasion, we were to travel to Zimbabwe for ministration and that morning, Nwachukwu got into an argument with his mother-in-law who was visiting at the time and due to the altercation, we missed our flight.
“He tried to book us on another flight, but to no avail and on our way back from the airport, having missed our flight, it was a serious battle as Nwachukwu kept abusing his wife verbally.
