Barrister Ahmed Gulak, the former political adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has been shot dead by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) while returning to Abuja from Owerri, Imo state.
This was disclosed by Dr Umar Ardo, the deceased’s classmate, in a statement on Sunday, 30th May, adding that the deceased was invited to the state by some Northern Groups.
“I just confirmed the sad and gruesome death of my friend and classmate, the former Honourable Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, former Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President and former Special Adviser, Political, to President Goodluck Jonathan, Barrister Ahmadu Ali Gulak.
“Barrister Gulak was said to have been killed last night by unknown gunmen in Owerri, Imo State.
“May Allah (SWT) forgive his sins, bless his soul, and reward his good deeds with Aljannah on the Day of Resurrection.
“May Allah (SWT) also give all his children, relatives, friends, and loved ones, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. And may Allah (SWT) bless us with faithful deaths when it is our turn to die. Ameen.
“Please let all and sundry accept my heartfelt sympathy over this personal painful experience even as I draw solace that he lived a good, helpful and productive life, well illustrated by the fact that he died while in service of his dear country.
“This is one death too many! May God Almighty save our fatherland. Ameen.”
In the same vein, Gulak’s daughter took to Twitter to announce the death of her father.
In her tweet, she wrote: “I just lost my dad please put him in your Dua. Thank you as you do so. Allaahummaghfir li (Ahmed Ali Gulak) warfa’ darajatahu fil-mahdiyyeena, wakhlufhu fee ‘aqibihi fil-ghaabireena , waghfir-lanaa wa lahu yaa Rabbal-‘aalameena, wafsah lahu fee qabrihi wa nawwir lahu feehi”.
In a video clip of 14 seconds suspected to be Barrister Gulak lying in a pool of his blood besides a parked Camry car, a lady in the background can be overheard saying “They just shot someone, unknown people…”.

Your headline is quite misleading and inciteful. Nothing in the body of your article can prove that IPOB did this. You are a northerner, therefore I am not surprised by the headline you choose. You just want to further incite the North against the Ibos. Weldone!
