Gulak was murdered by some gunmen in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on his way to catch his flight at the Sam Mbakwe Airport. Some Northern youths have threatened to retaliate if the killers are not brought to justice. The police have since identified and killed the assailants who murdered Gulak.
In a statement released today May 31, Sani who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Assembly, pleaded with his kinsmen in the North to avoid a major conflict with the Igbo by not revenging Gulak’s death.
He said “The cold blood murder of Ahmed Gulak in Owerri stands unreservedly condemned. The murder has all the elements of some forces trying to trigger an inter-ethnic war between Northerners and the Igbo. We must resist that plot. The statement by IPOB dissociating themselves from such despicable and barbaric act and even extending their condolences to the family of the late Gulak should be accepted in good faith. The police and other associated security agencies should do a diligent investigation and look beyond hurried finger-pointing. May Allah grant Ahmed Gulak Aljanna firdausi.Amin.”

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state openly condemned the gruesome murder in a statement titled; Ahmed Gulak; A Killing Too Senseless and Wicked.
In his words, he said “The killing of the former presidential aide is calculated to instigate Nigerians against each other, particularly northerners against the Igbos living outside the South-East. We must confront the enemies of the people with a view to neutralizing them. This is definitely not the time for political correctness. Banditry should not be allowed to subvert the legitimacy of the current government at all levels. We call on all security agencies to collaborate with a view to unveiling the criminal elements sponsoring and undertaking terrorist acts. They must be punished severely”
