Mr Nwachukwu was found guilty of culpable murder as the court held that he caused the death of his wife on April 8, 2022.
The judge ruled that the prosecution met the standard of proof imposed by the law and thus found the defendant guilty. On June 3, 2022, the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (OAGF) charged Mr Nwachukwu with 23 counts, including culpable murder, which is punishable by death.
During the trial, the prosecution called 17 witnesses, including two children of the late Osinachi, who testified as the fourth and fifth prosecution witnesses.
