Couple stripped naked and paraded with body of their ward they allegedly buried in a shallow grave (video)

A couple from a state in the south eastern part of Nigeria has been arrested for suspected murder. 

According to reports, the couple’s ward suddenly disappeared and locals started asking questions. 

However, his stepmother and father could not provide information on his whereabouts. 

Community members reportedly got suspicious and drilled the missing boy’s guardians and the couple allegedly took them to a shallow grave where the boy’s decaying body was exhumed. 

A video shared online shows the couple being paraded by villagers. They were stripped completely naked and palm fronds were tied on their necks as they were made to carry the body of the deceased on a sack while parading the village. 
 

As they walked, villagers surrounded them and shamed them. 

“This is the highest level of wickedness,” a female voice said in the video. 

“This is a grievous abomination,” another female voice said in Igbo.
