In a recent ruling, the Federal Capital Territory High Court denied the no-case submission made by Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of the late gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu.
The tragic passing of the musician on April 8, 2022, was shrouded in allegations of maltreatment and domestic violence allegedly inflicted by her spouse.
Upon his arraignment, Mr. Nwachukwu entered a plea of not guilty to a total of 23 charges, which encompassed domestic violence and homicide, among other accusations.
In his defense, Nwachukwu’s legal representative, A. Aliyu, submitted a no-case application, contending that the testimony of medical professionals presented by the prosecution entirely absolved his client from the charge of culpable homicide.
Aliyu asserted that the medical practitioners had testified that there was no evidence of violence leading to the deceased’s untimely demise.
