The funeral rites of Osinachi Nwachukwu, the deceased crooner of the chart-topping worship song, ‘Ekwueme’ has been released by her family.
Nwachukwu died on April 8 from alleged brutality from her husband Peter Nwachukwu.

Nwachukwu’s funeral rites began on Tuesday with a praise night at Michael Okpara Square in Enugu where she grew up.
She will be laid to rest at her hometown of Isochi, in Umunochi of Abia State on Saturday.
