Paul Enenche, the senior pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, says the church has zero tolerance for domestic violence, insisting that “it is better to be alive without marriage than to die because of marriage.”
”Now, if there was domestic violence that led to or coincided with those symptoms that she came with two and half months to three months ago, there is no way I would (know),” the Dunamis spiritual head pointed out.
Mr Enenche disclosed this on Wednesday night in reaction to the death of gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu. Ms Osinachi, until her death, was a Dunamis member.
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 marriage than to die because of marriage,” said Mr Enenche.
He added, ”We are in a season that calls for sober reflection in the light of the passing of our beloved sister, Osinachi Nwachukwu, who is a kingdom and generation asset to this generation.”
The Dunamis senior pastor revealed that some three months ago, the singer “came to see me with her husband with complaints of chest pain, respiratory distress.”
“I prayed for her and prayed and prayed again. And when the symptoms did not abate, I counselled that they go to the hospital to help us know exactly what we were dealing with,” said the cleric.
Mr Enenche also mentioned that he called the consultant paediatrician at the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, regarding the singer’s health and the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi.
“After they had examined her there and saw the situation, they felt there was a need for histology and biopsy of the lung tissue, and they asked she goes to the National Hospital to get that done,” explained the Dunamis pastor. “I again called the head of pathology and consultant, histopathologist of the National Hospital in Abuja and reported the issue to him and to help us go ahead with the investigation and find out what exactly happened.”
Mr Enenche also revealed that the singer’s health improved after several medical interventions.
“She called me literally daily, and (I) prayed with her. She reported progress. A point came where she needed no oxygen anymore, according to what she said to me one night,” the pastor stated.
