Some people described her voice as angelic, and that she has the ability to touch people’s hearts.
Before her death, Osinachi was a singer and songwriter, who became very popular for her song ,Ekwueme, a collaboration she did with singer Prospa Ochimana.
Since the allegation of domestic violence came to light, many people have shared their own stories and questions on whether religious preaching make women stay in abusive marriages.
Osinachi, before her passing, was the lead singer for The Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
“It is better to be alive and no marriage, than to die because of marriage,” says the church.
