Recall that Nwachukwu’s wife died on April 8, 2022 and family members and her colleagues had accused her husband of subjecting the deceased to domestic violence, leading to her death.

Afterwards, the Nigeria Police arrested him and he has been in detention since.

The federal government claimed that Nwachukwu contravened Sections 104 and 379 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, section 221 of the Penal Code and the Violence Against Person’s Prohibition Act (VAPP) 2015.

Some of the counts (like culpable homicide) recommends death penalty, 1-year jail term or fine (VAPP Act), among others.
