Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Pauline Tallen, has confirmed the allegation by the family of the late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, that her husband, Peter is married to another woman.
TheNiche reported on Wednesday that a family source said they discovered Osinachi’s husband was married to another woman after they had given out their daughter’s hand in marriage to him.
The minister, when speaking as a guest on an NTA programme ‘Good Morning Nigeria breakfast show’ reiterated the family’s position that Peter Nawachukwu has another wife outside Osinachi.
Pauline Tallen said on getting to the Nwachukwu’s house, they met the children of the deceased, who confirmed their father physically assaulted them and their late mother.

She went on to say the kids alleged the late singer does not have a bank account, and that her husband takes all the proceeds of her sweat.
The minister also said the children brought out an album that confirmed Peter was truly married to another woman.
“Honourable member, the deputy chief whip, happens to come from the late Osinachi’s village and she was out of town (and when she came back), she was in my office to thank me for the visit and she demanded that I should ask one of my aides to take her.
“I asked my CSO (chief security officer) to take her and when they got to the house, with the encouragement I gave the children, they were encouraged to speak out.
“So, more revelations are coming out, and (one of) the sons went in and brought out an album; he (Peter) was married to another woman. You can imagine collecting money from her (Osinachi) and treating this woman as a beast of burden,” she said.
Mrs. Pauline Tallen promised her ministry will ensure justice is done as they will pursue the matter to a logical conclusion.
