He's Still Their Father, Let Him Not Die Too - Lawyer Stan Alieke Reacts To Court's Decision To Sentence Husband Of Late Gospel Singer, Osinachi To Death

‎Popular Nigerian lawyer, Stan Alieke, has reacted to the decision of the court to sentence Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of late gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu, to death by hanging.

‎ ‎Recall that the Nigerian Voice reported on Monday, that the Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja has sentenced Peter Nwachukwu, husband of late gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu, to death by hanging.

‎ ‎Justice Njideka Nwosu-Iheme delivered the judgment on Monday after dismissing Nwachukwu's no-case submission.

‎ ‎The court found him guilty of culpable homicide in connection with the death of his wife on April 8, 2022

‎ ‎Reacting to the court's decision, Stan Alieke, via his Instagram story stated that in as much as he is a strong advocate for the guilty not to go unpunished; this death sentence of late gospel singer Osinachi's husband should be a reason why death sentence should be abolished.

‎ ‎According to him, it will be brutal for the kids who are still grappling with the death of their mum in 2022, to also witness their Dad being killed by hanging.

‎ ‎He, however, suggested that the late singer's husband should instead be sentenced to life imprisonment so that the kids could visit him in jail whenever they miss him.

‎ ‎Stan Alieke wrote: ‎"In as much as I'm a strong advocate for the guilty not to go unpunished; this singer Osinachi case should be a reason why de@th sentence should be abolished. For the sake of their kids, they already lost their mom, it will be brutal for the kids for their dad to be k!lled too. I know some of you will argue that the kids are better off as orphans than to have a kila dad, but I believe that the kids will beg to differ. The man should be sentenced to life imprisonment so the kids could visit him in jail whenever they miss him. He's still their father, let him not dle too."
