Gulak’s Assassination Politically Masterminded – Gov Uzodinma

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has described the killing of Ahmed Gulak, the ex-Political Adviser to the former President, Goodluck Jonathan, as politically masterminded.

Addressing Imo people in a broadcast at the Government House in Owerri the Imo State capital, the governor said he is really saddened by the gruesome murder which underscores the ugly security situation in Imo State in recent times.

According to the Governor, “Ahmed Gulak was in Imo State for a national assignment. He came to Owerri with the Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendment. Being a humble man, he chose to travel incognito according to his friend who was with him.

“Someone must have trailed him from the hotel to the airport. That is exactly why his gruesome murder appears to be a clear case of political assassination.”

Uzodinma in his oration on Monday stated that the events of the last few weeks do not represent the true character of the Imo people and he assured the people that the government will not leave any stone unturned in going after and apprehending anyone or group perpetrating all the criminal activities in the state.

The governor sympathized with the families of those who lost their lives within the recent period of unrest, most especially the family of late Ahmed Gulak.

Gulak was shot dead on Sunday on his way to Sam Mbakwe International Cargo airport en route Abuja after a visit to Imo state.
