Ahmed Gulak left his room at Protea Hotel without informing the Police nor sister agencies in view of the fragile security situation in the South East and Imo in particular.

The youths threatened to declare Governor Uzodimma persona non grata in the entire northern region, and hence not to be welcomed in the entire northern soil.
A statement from its National President, Isah Abubakar, noted, “It’s so pathetic and saddening, the continuous killing and lawlessness going on in the South Eastern part of Nigeria. The government of Imo State must give an account of those who killed Gulak.
The continuous killing of Northerners and destruction of security facilities in Imo State will no longer be tolerated.”
The group urged the federal government to rise up to its constitutional responsibility of protecting lives and property and act appropriately so as to avoid the current situation from escalating to a civil war.
The group emphasised that the government should take note that it would not allow the killer(s) of Ahmed Gulak to go unpunished, stressing that the Imo State Governor, who is the chief security officer, must bring those involved in the assassination to justice.

The Imo State Governor and other South East Governors should take note that we shall not accept the continued killing of Northerners and Northern elites in their region as we shall take revenge henceforth.”
