Gulak, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, was shot dead on Saturday evening after he had reportedly left his hotel without his security details, according to the police.
They said it was sad that Twitter allowed its platform for Kanu and his likes to propagate hate, killing of security operatives and destruction of critical infrastructure but quickly descended on President Buhari for reading the riot act to trouble makers.
President Buhari had in a series of tweets on Tuesday via his verified Twitter handle, @Mbuhari, tweeted: “Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.”

The killing of police personnel, civilians and destruction of government establishment by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) or any political thug or group is condemnable, distasteful and unacceptable.
No man has the right to take the life he did not make and every person reserves the right to life and peaceful assembly too, except a competent court of law says otherwise, after it must have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
In the same voice, I equally condemn killings by suspected herdsmen and bandits in Benue state. The kidnapping across the country, including the most recent hijacking of a school bus in Ondo state, as well as Boko Haram terrorist assaults are condemnable.
Notorious among the leaders known for reckless comments are; President Muhammadu Buhari, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, among others.
