The Kaduna State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has disclosed it is not aware of any assassination attempt on the life of Senator Usman Lawal, representing Kaduna Central in the Senate.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the Commissioner of Police (CP), Kaduna State Command, Mr Muhammad Rabiu, made the disclosure while revealing that he has ordered a full-scale investigation into the alleged assassination attempt.
In a statement issued by the command’s spokesperson, DSP Mansir Hassan, on Thursday in Kaduna, Rabiu was quoted to have said: “The alleged assassination attempt on Sen. Usman Lawal is unknown to the Police.
“The attention of the command has been drawn to a publication on the Facebook handle of Sen. 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 the social media, and all efforts to contact him have proved abortive.
Hassan said as a result, 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 stated.
