She was ordered to inform the authorities of her husband’s killing by the suspected Islamic State-linked insurgents, who found the pastor in a field, she told police.
The woman, a resident of Nova Zambezia, told officials that the attackers kidnapped her husband from the farm before beheading him.

The Cabo Delgado province has been rocked by attacks by Islamic State-linked militants since 2017, killing at least 3,340 people and displacing more than 800,000….
