Nigeria’s governing party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged security agencies to quickly investigate the murder of one of its Chieftains, Mr Ahmed Gulak.
The party gave the charge in a press statement by its National Secretary, Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Senator John Akpanudoedehe.
“The APC as all well-meaning Nigerians is calling for national unity to fight crimes in the country and urge relevant security agencies to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to track down and swiftly bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice,” the party said.
Mr Ahmed Gulak who was also a former Adviser to Nigeria’s former President Goodwick Jonathan was murdered in Owerri, capital of Imo state.
While expressing shock over the murder, the APC described the Sunday morning killing of its Chieftain in Owerri, the Imo state capital, as barbaric.

“The Party joins Nigerians to mourn his death and condemn his murderers in the strongest possible terms.
“We commiserate with his immediate family as well as the government and people of Adamawa State. He was a shining political leader and patriot.
“While majority of Nigerians sympathise with the victims of crimes in the country, it is discernible that the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) is apparently excited about the security incidents being perpetrated by evil-doers against the citizens.
“The APC reiterates the need for continuous support and cooperation with the security services who put their lives on the line to protect us and our property,” the statement read.
