Kaduna State Police Command says, the alleged assassination attempt on Senator Usman Lawal is not known to them, a statement issued dated 02nd January and signed be its spokesman, DSP Mansir Hassan, has declared.
“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 yet-to-be-identified location in Kaduna North, on 02/01/25; no time of incident was given.
“Without mincing words, the Command is yet to receive any formal complaint from the distinguished Senator, aside from this astonishing publication on the social media, and all efforts to contact him proved abortive,” it stated.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Muhammad Rabiu, has, therefore, ordered a full-scale investigation into the matter.
The Kaduna State Police Command also reiterated its commitment to providing adequate security for all and sundry within the state.
