There has been an outpouring of emotion at the news of the death of Nigerian gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu.
Initial reports said the 42-year-old had been sick with throat cancer, but her family deny that, alleging she had been a victim of domestic abuse.
Her husband Peter Nwachukwu has been arrested by police, and has not yet commented.
"Rest in peace woman of God, oh how I loved the way she worshipped God," said South African fan Hilda Motswatswa.
Abel Phanuel in Lagos wrote: "My heart is with her family at this trying times. #SayNoToDomesticViolence."
"She really poured her heart out in the song Ekuweme," said Caren Akoth, "maybe it was her way of getting through her sorrows".
And in Liberia, David Jacque Tarpeh wrote: "This is the time for all women of Nigeria to gather together and demand justice by having a peaceful protest".
