The Northern Governors Forum (NGF) has described the assassination of former Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, as most unfortunate and condemnable.
Chairman of the forum and governor of Plateau state, Simon Bako Lalong, while reacting to the killing said the sad incident is a criminal act that must be condemned in totality.
Lalong said the killing of Gulak must be seen as a criminal act and treated as such, warning against insinuations and politicisation that could lead to further violence.
He said the report by the police that it has identified and engaged the suspected killers of the late politician should further be consolidated upon to enable security agencies forestall future occurrence.
Meanwhile the forum has also expressed disgust over yet another abduction of innocent citizens across three local government areas of Niger state, including students and teachers of an Islamiya school.
Governor Lalong said the horrible situation needs to be brought to an end in order to give respite for the people to engage in their legitimate activities without molestation.
He reiterated the commitment of the forum to work with security agencies and the federal government in tacking insecurity in the region and the nation at large
