Thursday, January 2, 2025 - The Commissioner of Police, Kaduna State Command, CP Muhammad Rabiu, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the alleged assassination attempt of Senator Usman Lawal.
The senator representing Kaduna-Central Senatorial District on Wednesday revealed that he escaped assassination attempt by some
thugs in the state.
The order of investigation is contained in a statement issued by the
command’s spokesperson, Mansir Hassan, on Thursday, January 2 in Kaduna.
“The alleged assassination attempt on Senator Usman Lawal is unknown to
the Police,” the statement read.
"The attention of the command has been drawn to a publication on
the Facebook handle of Senator Lawal Usman.
"He
claimed that he escaped an assassination attempt by some thugs in a
yet-to-be-identified location in Kaduna North on Wednesday, and no time of the
incident was given.
"Without mincing
words, the command is yet to receive any formal complaint from the
distinguished senator.
“This is aside from this astonishing publication on social media, and
all efforts to contact him have proved abortive.”
He said that the commissioner of police has therefore ordered a
full-scale investigation into the matter.
"The Kaduna State Police Command reiterates its commitment to
providing adequate security for all and sundry within the state,”
Hassan added.
