A couple who were personnel of the Nigerian Army have been murdered by yet-to-be-identified assailants in Imo State.

A military source told our correspondent that the woman was first raped before she was shot dead along with her fiancé.

The duo were later beheaded.

The source said the couple were travelling to the state to formalise their traditional marriage rites when the incident happened, adding that the criminals made a video of the incident and circulated it online.

The source said, “They were on their way to Imo State on Saturday when the incident happened. The man, a Master Warrant Officer, and the woman, a Lance Corporal, were on transit when they met the criminals who killed them and made videos and circulated online. The woman was raped before they shot at them and cut off their heads.

“The man was a member of the 19 regular intakes while the wife was of the 79RI. The man still has a father; his brother is also a soldier working at a battalion in Kaduna State.”

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, confirmed the incident, adding that the Army was investigating it.

He vowed that no stone would be left unturned to ensure that those who committed the crime were brought to book.

He said, “I have received information about the cold-blooded murder of two of our personnel who were travelling home for their traditional wedding formalities.

“This is a dastardly act unleashed on our personnel by some criminals. The Nigerian Army has commenced investigations to unmask and bring to book the criminals behind the murder.”

Killers should face their consequences but when your Nigerian Army kills innocent people in Southeast,you justify it as well. Keep deceiving yourself

Hmmm!

Whatever happens to any Nigeria military men is well deserved

Rape is not good.

Wait o. Didn't Nigerian soldier rape the Obigbo women? Could it be karma?

Waiting to see these soldiers swim in mud to complete the cycle.

I do not buy your logic. If they were on a mission to fight innocent people and got killed, I will sound like you. But in this case, they were said to be traveling for a marriage ceremony, and I do not know the reason and the people behind the murder.

How come they were identified as soldiers?
Maybe they travelled in their military uniform.
If so they wanted to be killed.

Since this news broke, Im yet to get the name of these two individuals

Why is it that nobody knows their names?

Next is your death and that of the ESN terrorists

How did the military source know she was raped?

How did the murderers get the phone nos of the lady family to the extent of taunting them. If it's not personal

Why would the killers after shooting them and the other two go further to behead the woman, desecrate her vagina, then call the family to threaten them. Is she the only soldier in imo. Why is her case so peculiar to warrant these extreme behaviour

Since non of the victims was on military uniform how did the murderers know they are soldiers

It's obvious this is personal, very personal to someone the woman has hurt.

Like ipob like Boko Haram. Two peas in a pod. Little wonder they tend to get so upset whenever news breaks about the killing of terrorists and bandits in the north.

Their names were in that wedding flyer. Other Nairalanders posted it. I cant recall. But I managed to get the phone call from another Nairalander.

The call broke my heart. The killings for yesterday's sit at home was a pro max. Sometimes I don't know if to be happy because these were the people cheering ut

Soldiers should retaliate on criminal gunmen not on innocent civilians. Vexing anger on harmless civilians is pure cowardice.

Are you serious??
Ordinary murder and beheading

Anarchy is all I see. For this kind of situations to be on the news I'm sure far worse will be taking place that won't make it to the news . And trust the federal to be docile when they want to be till the situation escalates beyond comprehension.

The point they were killed is bigger than rape. So what is your problem?

as long as its not SW you can all ROT
