Who is Gentle Yahoo?
Gentle Yahoo is the commander of the militia group called the Biafra Liberation Army (BLA), which was formed by the self-acclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Government In Exile, Mr. Simon Ekpa.
He was receiving orders from Simon Ekpa, a Finland based gang leader who is currently in Finnish prison for launching bloody separatist campaigns in the South-East region which has resulted in the death of hundreds of civilians and scores of security operatives.
Gentle Yahoo is among the terrorists who attacked and destroyed Orsu Community in Imo State.
He was the criminal in a viral video, who kidnapped a military couple in Imo State in May, 2022.
A.M Linus, a Master Warrant Officer in the army and his Private officer wife, Gloria Matthew were later shot and beheaded.
After beheading the couple, Gentle Yahoo and his accomplice were said to have called their family members to mock them.
A gory video of the incident showed the gunmen putting the heads on the victims’ chests after the incident.
Gentle Yahoo and his gang members said they were aggrieved that the military has been consistently killing innocent residents in efforts to attack them (gunmen).
“It’s quite unfortunate that it is this way. I killed both of them yesterday,” the suspected gunman (Gentle Yahoo) was heard saying in the phone conversation.
