Northern Govs Condemn Gulak’s Assassination, Kidnap of Pupils in Niger

The Northern Governors Forum has described the assassination of
former Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political
Matters, Ahmed Gulak, as most unfortunate and totally
condemnable.

The Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon
Lalong, while reacting to the killing of Gulak in a statement, also
expressed disgust over yet another abduction of innocent citizens
across three local government areas of Niger State including pupils
and teachers of an Islamic school.

The governors said the murder of Gulak is a criminal act and
should be treated as such, warning against insinuations and
politicization that could lead to further violence.

Lalong said the report by the police that it has identified and
engaged the suspected killers of the late politician should further
be consolidated upon to enable security agencies forestall future
occurrence.

Meanwhile, the governors also charged that the horrible
situation of abduction of citizens needs to be brought to an end in
order to give respite to the people to engage in their legitimate
activities without molestation.

They reiterated the commitment of the forum in working with the
security agencies and the federal government in tacking the ugly
level of insecurity in the region and the nation at large.
