“My dad told us beating women is good” – Late Osinachi Nwachukwu’s son

One of the children of late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu has revealed the ill-treatment meted on their mother by their father.

In a conversation with Ene Ogbe, a friend to deceased, Osinachi’s first son disclosed that their father taught them that it was a good thing to beat women.

According to Ogbe, the boy further revealed that their father used to abuse their mother physically at any slightest provocation.

She wrote “By God’s grace, I was in our beloved late sister’s house this evening again and am glad that the police actually arrested him. But what baffles me is the way and manner he has polluted the children’s minds!! I had a chat with the firstborn, and I almost started crying again.

“This boy told me the ordeal his mom has been going through with his dad, how he beats her up in any little argument, he said ‘aunty, my dad pushed my mom out of the car at night after Wednesday service, and bad boys snatched my mom’s bag that night. How mom got home that night. I can’t tell because dad left her. People dashed my mom this two cars (pointed at them for me to see) but dad at times will say my mom should take bike while we go in the car. Even when we are coming back from church, my mom will stand under the sun and we will drive and pass her and we will wave at her. My dad told us that beating women is good.’

“I had to cut in the conversation, and I told him it is very wrong to beat a woman and that God is against it, and I talk sense into him. He said they are happy that their dad was arrested because he shouted and beat them up.

“The second-born sang for us too; he has a golden voice like the mom. The first said ‘my mom always keeps quiet for my daddy and she always forgives, and now she has died’. I told him not to worry as his mom is in heaven!!! May the soul of our beloved sister rest in peace and may God take care of the four kids she left behind Amen!!”
