Southeast Governors call for probe into death of Gulak

The South East Governors’ forum has called on security agencies to instantly apprehend those responsible for the murder of APC leader, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak.

This is enclosed in a statement released by the Chairman of the forum and Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State on Tuesday after a virtual meeting on the security condition in the region.

The forum depicted the murder of Gulak, in Owerri, Imo, as a nationwide disaster.

It said, “It is with a rude shock that we received the news of the unfortunate death of Alhaji Ahmed Gulak in the hands of the senseless gunmen.

“We, on behalf of the people of South East, condemn the act highly and we charge security agencies to immediately deploy their officers and men to arrest the perpetrators and make them face justice, we, however, pray to God to grant the deceased rest in eternity.”

The Governors commiserated with the Gulak’s family, the Adamawa Government and citizens of Nigeria generally.

The forum stated, “We assure our fellow northern governors of our commitment to unravel all masterminds of the act.

“The forum urges the public to exercise restraint and allow security agencies continue with their investigations while assuring that all those involved in the act will be brought to justice.”
