A Nigerian man has prompted intense reactions online after meeting Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of the late gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu, whose death sparked a national outcry.

As Legit.ng previously reported, a Nigerian court sentenced Mr Nwachukwu to death by hanging.

The individual, known as Chude on Elon Musk's X, said he just met Mr. Nwachukwu at Kuje prison.

During their talk, he reported that the convicted man showed profound regret and remorse for the events that led to his collapse and the loss of his family.

In his words: “I met this man in Kuje prison, had a brief chat with him, he was full of regrets and remorse. So unfortunate it ended this way for him.”

Legit.ng reported that Peter Nwachukwu had been charged with 23 counts, including criminal murder, in relation to his wife's death.

The charges were brought under Sections 104 and 379 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, Section 221 of the Penal Code, and the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act, 2015. He was confined to the Kuje Correctional Facility while awaiting trial.

@IfeofGod93 said: "Chude the kind of things you tweet sometimes ehn, so if a person kills your sister or daughter and becomes remorseful, you will feel bad if he's sentenced to death??"

spicyyhairs said: "So he wasn't remorseful for all the times he hit his wife abi. If he was truly remorseful those times he would have stopped abusing her and she would have been alive by now. Rayher he is remorseful after death. Make he go ask her for forgiveness for the other side."
