Lawan Condemns Gulak’s Murder, Calls for Thorough Investigation

By Deji Elumoye

President of the Senate, Dr Ahmad Lawan, has condemned the gruesome murder of a former Speaker of the Adamawa House of Assembly and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon Ahmed Gulak, which occured on Sunday in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Lawan, while reacting Monday to the killing of the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, described the dastardly act as one crime too many and called for a swift investigation to bring all perpetrators to justice.

According to him, there can be no justification for the brutal murder of a human being and fellow citizen.

Lawan, however, appealed for restraint on the part of those callling for revenge, saying they should allow the relevant authorities to serve justice on the matter as the injury of the crime was inflicted on Nigeria as a whole.

The Senate President condoled with the family and friends of the departed as well as the government and people of Adamawa State over the incident.
