Late Osinachi: Pastor Paul Enenche Breaks Silence, Cautions Those Blaming The Church

Senior Pastor of Dunamis Church Abuja, Paul Enenche, has broken his silence days after her passing of a gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu who was also a member of the church till her demise.

In a video shared on social media on Wednesday evening, the cleric said that Osinachi and her husband came two and a half months ago to complain of a chest infection and he did his best as her pastor to get her medical help until she died.

He said it was after her passing that he got wind of the series of abuse she allegedly suffered in the hands of her husband, Peter Nwachukwu.

He said: “Now, if there was domestic violence that led to or coincided with those symptoms that she came with two and half month to three months ago, there is no way I would know and if there had been perennial domestic violence, there was no way I would have known.

“The things we are hearing after her passing were things that were very very strange to my hearing. Then I began to ask questions.”

Pastor Enenche said when he asked Osinachi’s twin sister, her son, and even church members who knew about the physical abuse, they told him that late Osinachi would always beg them not to let the church leaders know what she was passing through and that she believed God will change him.

He said the church’s music director also told him that he witnessed when late Osinachi’s husband slapped her in his studio. He said he got to know of all of this after her passing.

Pastor Enenche said that as a church they have zero degree tolerance for domestic abuse and wife battering of any sort.

He also addressed people who wonder why Mr. Nwachukwu was still attending the church despite beating his wife.

His words: “As a person and as a church, everyone who knows us knows that we have zero degree tolerance for domestic abuse and wife battering of any sort. If you ever listen to any of our relationship messages, there is a principle, policy and a rule we have and that is; it is better to be alive without a marriage than to die because of marriage.

“We’ve said that over and over. I am sure that some of us might have listened to the clips of those messages.

“Now this kind of time is the time where people heap all manner of blames on the church and that is typical because whatever goes wrong, the first point of call is the church. I have seen people asked questions, why should a wife abuser be a member of the church or how can somebody be so brutal and he is a member of the church?

“That is not a question that people who know scriptures should ask. You know the Ark of Noah, the same Ark that carried good animals also had evil beast inside the same Ark. You know Jesus Christ had a followership of what the Bible called the multitudes. And for me, multitudes means multiple attitudes; people with multiple inclinations; people with multiple tendencies; people with multiple behaviours.

“Infact, one of those that followed Jesus Christ was a thief who also sold him to death; he was called Judas Iscariot. Question is, how could somebody followed Jesus Christ as perfect as Jesus was; as instructive as he was; as impactful as he was and still be a thief and a murderer?

“That question is left for everybody to answer. And I can tell you the worst of it all; There was a personality called lucifer who was in Heaven and became satan the devil under the nose of God in Heaven; a place where there was no sin and could have been no sin at all.

“This guy became the inventor and the originator of sin. How is it possible for somebody to become a devil from being an archangel right inside Heaven? That is how possible it is for anybody to be anything while inside the church.

“Even the best of pastors, teachers, preachers in the world cannot change any man or woman who is unwilling to be changed. In case you feel frustrated at anything and you are airing your frustration here and there, or a transfer of aggression or frustration, the church is not your place for transferring frustration and aggression.”
