June 22, (THEWILL) – Children of late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, will testify in court against their father while wearing a blindfold.
A federal capital territory high court, sitting in Wuse zone 2, has directed her two children to apply in court wearing blindfold.
The gospel singer, who passed away in April, was initially thought to have died of throat cancer. But her associates claimed her death was connected to an assault by her husband, Peter, who was later arrested and charged to court.
The federal government filed a 33 count charge against him. At the court session on Tuesday, Aderonke Imana, prosecution counsel told the court that the singer’s children will testify against their father.
She prayed the court to protect the children by blindfolding them and putting them in shield while they testify.
She also prayed the court to direct non-parties in the suit to vacate the court when the children will testify.
In his response, Njideka Nwosu-Iheme, the presiding judge granted the application sought by the prosecution counsel.
