Brother to Late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, Godwin Emere Madu has said it was not the duty of the family to disclose autopsy reports.
According to him, “Even if the autopsy report is out, it is not our duty to reveal it to the world. I am not aware the autopsy report is out. I am concerned about justice for my sister and making the man pay for his crime.”
Recall that the ‘Ekwueme’ singer died on April 8, after allegedly enduring years of domestic violence from her husband, Peter Nwachukwu.
The late singer’s husband was arrested after the family reported the matter to the police and indictment by his children in cases of domestic violence.
The case has since been at the State Criminal Investigation Department in FCT, as the police carried out autopsy on the late singer.
Giving an update, the FCT Command spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, said Osinachi’s case has been transferred to the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
“The case is no longer with us. It is now with the DPP in the office of the Attorney General. I don’t know anything about the autopsy, I have not discussed autopsy with anyone.” Adeh told The Guardian on telephone.
However, the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), has denied knowledge of the case file.
Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations to the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, said: “I am not aware of Osinachi’s case file being with the AGF.”
