A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, has condemned Peter Nwachukwu, spouse of deceased gospel artist Osinachi Nwachukwu, to death by hanging.
Justice Njideka Nwosu-Iheme delivered the capital punishment on Monday following a guilty verdict for culpable homicide related to the April 8, 2022, tragedy.
The court dismissed Nwachukwu’s no-case submission, affirming the prosecution’s successful discharge of its evidentiary burden. The defendant had faced a 23-count indictment including spousal battery and child cruelty alongside the homicide charge.
