Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has threatened to retaliate the killing of Ahmed Gulak, ex-aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Gulak was murdered in Owerri, Imo State, on Sunday morning while on his way to the Sam Mbakwe Airport to catch a flight to Abuja.
Reacting, NYCN through its National President, Isah Abubakar, said it will declare governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo persona non grata in the north if he fails to arrest Gulak’s killers in two weeks.
The group also warned that it will no longer tolerate the killing of northerners in the South-east.

“Let us state categorically that northern youths will do everything within their powers to force the government of Imo State to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice. The Imo State Governor and other South East Governors should take note that we shall not accept the continued killing of Northerners and Northern elites in their region as we shall take revenge henceforth,” the group said.
“It’s so pathetic and saddened the continuous killing and lawlessness going on in the South Eastern part of Nigeria. The government of Imo State must give an account of those who killed Gulak. The continuous killing of Northern and destruction of security facilities in Imo State will no longer be tolerated.”

It further urged the Federal Government to rise up to its constitutional responsibility of protecting lives and property.
It explained that the government should take note that it would not allow Gulak’s killers to go unpunished, stressing that Uzodinma, who is the chief security officer of the state, must bring those involved in the assassination to justice.
