Gulak’s death is one too many ― Anyim

Published by

A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has described Ahmed Gulak’s death as one too many. He then urged the security agencies to bring to book those behind his untimely death.

According to Anyim, losing Gulak like other innocent Nigerians to unknown assailants is the darkest point in the senseless and mindless violence growing in the country and South-East.

Anyim made the call in a statement he signed and made available to newsmen on Monday while commiserating with the deceased’s family.

The statement reads: “30th of May, 2021, is no doubt the darkest Sunday of my life. The news of the gruesome murder of my friend and colleague, Hon Ahmed Gulak knocked me down into distress, and it took me till this morning of 31st May, 2021, to regain my senses from the shock.

“Hon. Ahmed Gulak was my colleague in President Goodluck’s administration. He was a man of conviction and courage. He was endowed with great intellectual prowess that enabled him to have unusual clarity of thought and expression: a dedicated nationalist and a faithful friend. 

“Losing Gulak, like other innocent, Nigerians to unknown assailants is the darkest point in the senseless and mindless violence growing in the country and South East. This death is one too many.

“The security agencies owe humanity the duty to unravel and bring to book those behind this dastardly act. 

“My heart goes to the family of Hon. Gulak. I pray for God to grant his family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss and grant his soul eternal repose. 

“Adieu, my brother.”

Recall that Ahmed Gulak was assassinated in Imo State at the weekend by unknown gunmen.
