- says, the former adviser didn’t inform the police before leaving his hotel
Imo State Police command has blamed Ahmad Gulak, a former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, for his death.
In a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bala Elkana, the police said the APC member left his hotel without informing any security agency.
Gulak was killed on Saturday at 07:20hrs in his hired Toyota Camry, taking him and two others to Sam Mbakwe Airport to catch his flight to Abuja.
The statement read, “On the 30/5/2021, at about 07:20hrs, armed men 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 the irregular route to the airport, six armed men who rode in a Toyota Sienna intercepted, identified and shot at Ahmed Gulak at around Umueze Obiangwu in the Ngor-Okpala Local Government Area close to the airport.
“The Commissioner of Police, Imo, CP Abutu Yaro, has directed a discreet investigation into the matter as tactical and special forces have been deployed to search the area and arrest perpetrators.”
