Nigerian gospel singer’s death puts divorce beliefs in spotlight

Osinachi Nwachukwu's family and friends allege that she was a victim of domestic abuse

On most Sunday mornings, the searing voice of Osinachi Nwachukwu, one of Nigeria's best-known gospel singers, filled the vast 100,000 seater auditorium of her church in Abuja.

Footage from one of the last times she led the choir at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre showed her singing the 2017 gospel hit Ekwueme, her eyes pressed closed and hand outstretched in prayer.
