Following the gruesome killing of Ahmed Gulak in Imo State by unknown gunmen, Muslims in Rivers State have advised northerners not to travel on South-eastern roads.
Gulak who hailed from Adamawa State and was a Presidential Adviser to former President, Good luck Jonathan on Political Affairs was assassinated on his way to Abuja en-route Sam Mbakwue Airport, Owerri.
The State Protocol Officer, Rivers State Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Danliti Aliyu told our correspondent that though the South-eastern routes are shorter when travelling to the North from the South-south but safety first.
“It is advisable for the northerners at this time to avoid travelling on South-eastern roads.
“No matter how long other routes could be, our northern people should use it and avoid using South-eastern roads.
“I will also urge those northerners living and doing business in the South-east not to get panicked over the killing of Gulak.
“They should also not consider leaving their means of livelihood in the South-east to elsewhere as the situation has not worsened to that level.
“Security agents in the South-east should try and give more protection to the northerners in the South-east because the northerners are the most vulnerable tribe in the Igbo speaking states of the country,” Aliyu said.
