How Gulak Was Killed By Six Gunmen In Imo – Police

The Imo State Police Command has blamed former President Goodluck Jonathan aide, Ahmed Gulak, for his own assassination in the state on Sunday morning.

Gulak was killed by unknown gunmen while on his way to Owerri airport. .

But the Imo State Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, in a statement said the APC chieftain left his Protea hotel without informing the police or security agencies of his movement, an action considered as reckless in view of the precarious security situation in the state.

Bala said Gulak took a cab without escort and the driver followed unknown routes to the airport before he was killed by gunmen numbering about 6 inside a Sienna bus.

Bala said: “On the 30/5/2021, at about 07:20hrs, armed bandits intercepted and attacked a Toyota Camry cab carrying Ahmed Gulak and two others who were on their way to Sam Mbakwe Airport to catch a flight.

“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.

“He left without any security escorts and while the cab driver took irregular route to the airport, six armed bandits who rode in a Toyota Sienna intercepted, identified and shot at Ahmed Gulak at around Umueze Obiangwu in Ngor-Okpala Local Government Area close to the airport.
“The Commissioner of Police Imo CP Abutu Yaro, fdc has directed a discreet investigation into the matter as Tactical and Special forces have been deployed to cordon the area and arrest perpetrators.”
