Senate Deputy President Ovie Omo-Agege has said the former Political Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, visited Owerri, the Imo State capital, for a national assignment when he was killed by gunmen on Sunday, May 30, 2021.
The former presidential aide was assassinated while on his way to the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport in the town to connect a flight to Abuja.
The Deputy Senate President said the former presidential aide was on a national assignment on behalf of the Senate Committee on Constitution Review when he was killed.
“He was a lawyer – a very brilliant lawyer at that. Apparently, it was in that capacity that his relationship with me, as the Chairman of the Committee on Constitution Review, that I recommended and engaged him as one of the few brilliant men that we hired to help the committee in carrying out its assignment.
“We members of the committee are shattered by his demise. We believe that this is one death too many. For sure, it is most unfair for this very brilliant life to have been cut down in his prime,” he said.
The Senate observed one-minute silence in honour of the departed Adamawa State lawyer and politician.
