Lalong said the incident should be treated as a criminal act, and warned against insinuations and politicization of issues sorrounding the death that could lead to further violence.
According to him, the report by the police indicates that they have identified and engaged the suspected killers of Gulak, and should further be consolidated upon to enable security agencies forestall future occurrence.
In another development, the Northern Governors Forum has also expressed disgust over another abduction of innocent citizens across three local Government areas of Niger State, which included students and teachers of an Islamic school.
Lalong called for an end to the horrible situation, saying it was necessary to give respite to people to engage in their legitimate activities without fear.
He reiterated the commitment of the Forum in working with the security agencies and the federal government in tackling the ugly level of insecurity in the region and the nation at large.
