Following the murder of Ahmed Gulak, former adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan in Imo State on Sunday, Northern groups under the aegis of Northern Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, has called on the Governor, Hope Uzodinma to immediately bring those responsible to book.
In a statement by its National President, Isah Abubakar, the youths threatened to declare Governor Uzodinma persona non grata in the entire northern soil of he fails to ensure that the perpetrators of the act aren’t arrested.
It explained 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.
“Let us state categorically that northern youths will do everything within their powers to force the government of Imo State to bring the perpetrators of this crime 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.”
“It’s so pathetic and saddened 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 killings 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.

You guys should come and see for yourselves. This happened today and you are making statements; soldiers (Air Force precisely) having been killing civilians here since Friday, 28th May – but it has not been heard anywhere (shooting at Commercial Buses that plies through Aba-Owerri Road – Naze/Poly Junction). They packed and disposed the bodies – in order to hide any evidence. you are shot if you are seen. soldiers meant to protect lives are now the ones we fear most.
