Alleged terrorist beheaded by nigerian soldiers in nigeria

Sickening video shows the moment an army couple was beheaded and mutilated while heading to Nigeria’s Imo state for their traditional wedding.

Nigeria’s military has linked the beheading of the army couple to the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob), a separatist group in Nigeria that aims to achieve the independence of Biafra, a state which seceded from Nigeria prior to the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970) and was later rejoined into Nigeria after its defeat by the Nigerian military.

The couple was beheaded and killed over the weekend while heading to Nigeria’s Imo state for their traditional wedding. The gruesome video shows the male victim laying lifeless on the ground with a huge gash on his neck.

Two more lifeless bodies can be seen behind the man in a shallow grave. The woman, still alive, is naked, according to the footage. A man then lays her on her back before decapitating her as well. Following the beheading, the man then proceeds to slice off her genitalia.

Army spokesman Onyema Nwachukwu condemned the killings as “gruesome, barbaric and most despicable”. He further accused the armed wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) for the murders.“The Nigerian army will ensure the perpetrators of this dastardly act unleashed on its personnel do not go unpunished,” Nwachukwu said in a statement.

Ipob has yet to respond to the accusations made by the Nigerian Army.
