The Police in Imo State, Southeast Nigeria have arrested one of the suspected killers of a top member of the rulling All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Gulak.

The state Police Spokesman, Mr Mike Abattam, identified the suspect as Anosike Chimobi from Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

Anosike was nabbed one year after Gulak’s death.

Gulak was a former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan. He was murdered gunmen on May 30, 2021, during a visit to Imo State.

According to reports, he was followed from his hotel room to the spot where he was killed around Umueze Obiangwu in Ngor-Okpala LGA, close to the Sam Mbakwe Airport Road in Owerri.

Abattam said Chimobi had been on the focus of the command since the killing of Gulak.

The police spokesperson said that Anosike escaped during a gun battle between police personnel and his gang members at Aboh Mbaise shortly after the murder of the APC chieftain where five of the suspects were killed.

Chimobi however claimed to be a commercial bus driver and not a member of the criminal gang.

He said Gulak’s killers approached him to convey them in his vehicle and he attempted to resist, but later gave in after they threatened to kill him.

The suspect admitted that he drove the criminals to the spot and blocked Gulak’s vehicle which was on its way to the airport.

According to him, they shot the APC chieftain after he resisted the demand by the gunmen that he should come down from the vehicle.

Chimobi explained that the assailants later ran into a team of security operatives who shot repeatedly at the other vehicle conveying them until it somersaulted and caught fire.

The command’s spokesman said that the police have also arrested other suspected criminals who have been terrorising communities in Imo.

He explained that among those paraded were members of the gang who burnt the home of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Professor George Obiozor.
