Founder of Dunamis International Gospel Church, Paul Enenche, has denied knowledge of domestic violence in the home of late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu and her husband, Peter Nwachukwu.
In a video broadcast on Wednesday, the church founder, he was unaware the gospel artiste, who was the lead singer at the church was having domestic violence challenge.
He said the only thing that came to his knowledge was that the husband came to him at some points when he said his wife was complaining of chest pains.
He said, “Over two-and-a-half months to three months ago, she came to see me with her husband with complaints of chest pain and respiratory distress. I prayed for her and prayed again.
“When the symptoms did not abate, I counseled that they went to the hospital to help us know exactly what we were dealing with and they asked if I could help them facilitate that process. I called our head of medical team, Dr. Osang, who is a consultant paediatrician with the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi (Nasarawa State) to assist to handle their situation.
“He called the FMC, Jabi (Abuja), where they attended to her. On seeing her, they ordered some examinations and investigations and that including CT scan. That was done, and from what the doctors saw, they felt there was the need for further investigation either at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital or the National Hospital, Abuja. I called the doctor at the UATH, Dr. Akoh Alexander, and told him the situation.”
Pastor Enenche said he would not know if the violence at home was responsible for the complained medical conditions.
He said after the medical interventions, she was responding to treatments until he heard about her death.
He said further, “If there had been perennial domestic violence, there is no way I would have known.
“The things we are hearing after her passing were very strange to my hearing. Then, I began to ask questions. Then, I asked the twin sister, ‘Were you aware that your sister passed through all these things?’ She said yes, that she knew some of them, but that the majority of them she heard only from those she (Osinachi) confided in.
“I asked her, ‘If you knew, why didn’t you let us know?’ and she said, she (Osinachi) always begged her not to tell the pastor or the church that the man would change and asked for prayers. That continued to happen.”
He said the singer’s son and music producer later corroborated all claims of incessant attacks at home.
“The last one that touched me so much was the music producer who came to see me in the office two days ago to tell me his own experience and how he witnessed that the man slapped the wife in his studio,” he added.
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwezili, had called for justice over the saga.
The husband has been arrested.
