President Muhammadu Buhari has on behalf of the government expressed deep condolences to the Nigerian Army and the families of Master Warrant Officer Audu Linus and his partner, Private Gloria Mathew, who were beheaded after being shot by the terrorist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on transit to Imo State for their traditional wedding last Saturday, April 30, 2022 as confirmed by the Nigerian Army.
Their corpses were inhumanely treated by IPOB and posted on social media platforms.
In a message, the President joined fellow citizens in expressing a deep sense of shock as he condemned the barbarism of the perpetrators of the unfortunate incident and similar acts of violence against law enforcement agents, describing it as alien to all cultures and civilizations.
He called on all leaders, regional and national to “Speak with one voice, to show that the entire country is one against this cruel and barbaric act of violence.
“This is unacceptable. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of this sad and tragic incident,” said the President.
The President has therefore directed the military authorities and other security agencies to do their utmost in apprehending the perpetrators of these barbaric acts and bring them to justice.
