The late singer’s husband is currently on trial.

The command later said it has forwarded the autopsy result conducted on the late gospel singer to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for vetting and possible prosecution.

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Josephine Adeh, in a statement, said the autopsy was conducted on the late popular singer to demystify the circumstances surrounding her death.

The police spokesperson, however, urged the public to be patient and trust in the process, adding that due diligence would be observed in the pursuit of justice in the matter.

According to the charge, the crime Nwachukwu allegedly committed contravenes Sections 104 and 379 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, (ACJA) 2015, Section 221 of the Penal Code and the Violence Against Person’s Prohibition Act (VAPP) 2015.
