Minister of women affairs Pauline Tallen on Wednesday said Peter Nwachukwu, husband of the late popular gospel artiste Osinachi Nwachukwu, has another wife.
Nwachukwu has been accused of subjecting his wife to domestic violence.
Speaking on NTA’s Good Morning Nigeria show, Tallen said, “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 are encouraged to speak out.
“So, more revelations are coming out and (one of) the sons went in and brought out an album; he’s (Peter) been married to another woman. You can imagine collecting money from her (Osinachi) and treating this woman as a beast of burden.”
Tallen, who met the children on Tuesday, said they told her that their late 42-year-old mother had no bank account of her own as all her proceeds were usurped by their father.
Nwachukwu is currently in police custody.
