A family member has given an insight on how the military couple, Gloria Mathew and Linus Audi were murdered and beheaded while in Imo state for their traditional marriage ceremony.
The source said they were attacked by gunmen who killed and beheaded them.
In an interview with BBC, the family member of the deceased couple said the duo were attacked by four armed persons at an area not far from Banana junction in Orlu, Imo State.
The source said:
“It happened around 3pm. They were traveling to Nkwerre from Lagos. Audu is from southern Kaduna but he lives in Makurdi. Gloria is based in Sokoto. They arrived in Lagos from Kaduna on the 26th of April to pick up Gloria’s mum so that they can travel together for the traditional marriage rites.
They killed Linus’ relatives that day. The leader of the armed men ordered them (gunmen) to shoot. They killed them (the couple) in front of Gloria’s 10-year-old daughter and her mum”.
