A section of her friends and colleagues claimed that the gospel singer had been suffering from domestic violence from her husband.
People within Osinachi’s circles also claimed that her husband kicked her on the chest, leading to her hospitalization and death.
“So that unreasonable human being finally put off a shining light. I won’t say much now, I will let the former NDDC director (aunty Joy) who did everything possible to stop this from happening talk first, but it still happened. We tried to stop this,” gospel singer Frank Edwards wrote.
