An investigation has been launched by the Kaduna State Police Command into the alleged assassination attempt on Senator Usman Lawal, who represents Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone, by unknown individuals.
A statement issued on Thursday issued by the Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, explained that it has yet to receive a formal complaint from the senator.
The PPRO further explained that a publication was made on the senator’s Facebook page claiming he had escaped an assassination attempt by unknown individuals within the state.
The statement explained that the attention of the command has been drawn to a publication on the Facebook handle of Sen. Lawal Adamu Usman (PDP) representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, that he escaped an assassination attempt by some thugs in a yet-to-be-identified location in Kaduna North on 02/01/25. No time of the incident was given.
According to the statement, “Without mincing words, the command is yet to receive any formal complaint from the distinguished senator, aside from this astonishing publication on social media, and all efforts to contact him have proved abortive.”
The Commissioner of Police, CP Muhammad Rabiu, according to the statement has therefore ordered a full-scale investigation into the matter.
