Unknown gunmen on Saturday shot dead and then beheades a couple who were operatives of the Nigerian army.
It is reported that A.M Linus, a sergeant first class in the army and his lance corporal wife, private Gloria Matthew, were on their way to Imo State when the incident happened.
After beheading the couple, the gunmen were said to have called their family members to mock them in an audio clip that has gone viral. A gœry video of the incident seen by SaharaReporters showed the gunmen putting the heads on the victims’ chests after the incident.
“It’s so sad that we soldiers are no safer, the man was a member of the 19 regular intakes while the wife was of the 79RI. They were on their way to Imo state on Saturday when the incident happened. You won’t believe these gunmen as we speak still used their phones to make calls to their family members, making jest of them and threatening to kill them as well.
This couple just married recently, even their photoshoot caused a lot of criticism and seems they were punished for it.“
