Army Accuse IPOB, Reveal Plans over Brutal Murder of Intending Couple Soldiers
The Nigerian Army has condemned the brutal murder of two about-to-wed soldiers and noted that the action was perpetrated by members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra and its armed wing, Eastern Security Network.
THECONSCIENCENG gathered that the duo of Master Warrant Officer Audu Linus and Private Gloria Matthew travelled to Imo State for their traditional marriage rites where some armed men shot and beheaded the soldiers.
The Director of Army Public Relations, Brig. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement, said the incident was a testament to how IPOB/ESN was unleashing terror on innocent Nigerians.
He vowed that the Army would ensure the perpetrators were brought to book, calling on residents to help with information that could lead to their arrest.
Onyema said, “Though the dissident groups have continued to live in denial while masquerading as unknown gunmen in their criminal violent campaign in the region, the Nigerian Army will ensure the perpetrators of this dastardly act unleashed on its personnel do not go unpunished.
“While we deeply condole with the families, relations and close associates of the victims, the NA has commenced investigation to unmask and bring the criminals to book.”
