Mixed Reactions Trail Death Sentence for Osinachi's Husband

 

The recent death sentence handed to Mr. Nwachukwu, husband of late gospel singer Osinachi, has sparked mixed reactions on social media. A High Court in Lagos found him guilty of offenses related to his wife's death, including spousal battery, child cruelty, and criminal intimidation.

While some Nigerians have applauded the verdict as justice, others have expressed concern for the couple's children, who may lose both parents. Celebrity lawyer Stan Alieke criticized the death sentence, advocating for life imprisonment instead.

Alieke emphasized the impact on Osinachi's children, arguing they still need their father. He suggested life imprisonment would allow the children to visit their father while also serving justice. The debate highlights differing opinions on capital punishment and its effects on surviving family members.
