Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of late popular gospel artiste, Osinachi Nwachukwu, has been arrested by the police over her death.
The Nation reports Imo-born singer died at 42 last week.
She was a lead singer at the Dunamis International Church.
The Nation learnt Osinachi was hospitalised before her demise.
