The suspect was paraded after the Minister of Women Affairs Dame Pauline Tallen visited the force headquarters where he is being held.

A statement issued on Friday by the Ministry’s spokesperson, Olujimi Oyetomi, said the minister demanded that adequate punishment be meted on the suspect to serve as a lesson for men who are in the habit of constantly assaulting women.

Mrs. Tallen also stated that she would be enlisting the support of the Governor of Abia state as well as the representatives of the constituency where the late Osinachi hails from, and the assistance of the governor of Enugu state and his wife to give psycho-social support to the children.

The four children of the deceased singer are on second term holiday from their school in Abuja and may be relocating to Enugu to join their grandmother until the present travail is sorted.

Responding, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, ordered that the suspect be brought in and paraded before the minister, children and others to assure that he was still in the custody of the police.

The visiting family members include the twin sister of the late Osinachi, Eze Grace Amarachi, the brother, the late singer’s children (Three boys and a girl) as well as two other females which include Deborah Rukop who was simply described as a close friend to the family.
