In the month of April, precisely April 30, an Army Couple was killed in Imo State while travelling to the village to make plans for their traditional marriage. The sister of the late Army officer, Obiageli has again made some revelations after her sister was brutally murdered by gunmen in Imo. Obiageli who was not in the bus that was attacked said it is her brother who survived the incident that narrated what they passed through in the hands of the assailants.
She said that it was four gunmen that ambushed them on the road after using palm fronds to block the road, thus preventing their vehicle from plying the road. They were all ordered to come down from the vehicle and when Gloria came down, she told them that she is a military personnel, with the hope that they would allow them to pass. Obiageli’s uncle shouted at her and told the gunmen that she is not a soldier and that she was going for her wedding, but it was too late as the gunmen called their colleagues and ordered Gloria and her husband-to-be to enter the Hilux.
They drove them away but two of their gang members were still with Obiageli’s brother, her mother and Gloria’s 10-year-old daughter. They killed two persons in the vehicle and when it got to the turn of Obiageli’s brother, they told him he is free and innocent and told him to thank God that they spared his life. They told him that they would definitely kill his sister (Gloria) and her husband-to-be.
HOW GLORIA’S 10-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER’S LIFE WAS SPARED
When they saw Gloria’s 10-year-old daughter who is Obiageli’s niece, they said they would kill her since she has an army blood, but their mother told them that she does not have an army blood, adding that her daughter gave birth to her even before she joined army. After hearing this, they changed their mind and spared her life.
