The Kaduna State Police Command has launched an investigation into an alleged assassination attempt on Senator Usman Lawal, who represents Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone. The investigation follows a social media post claiming that the senator narrowly escaped an attack by unknown assailants on January 2, 2025, within Kaduna North.
According to the police, the command has not yet received an official complaint from Senator Lawal, despite his claims circulating on Facebook. The post did not specify the time or exact location of the alleged attack, raising further questions about the incident.
A statement issued by the Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, confirmed that the police had not been able to reach the senator to discuss the matter in detail. Efforts to contact Senator Lawal for further clarification have been unsuccessful.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Muhammad Rabiu, has directed the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the situation to determine the truth behind the allegations. The case is being treated with utmost seriousness, and the police are continuing their efforts to gather information and ensure the safety of all individuals involved.
As the investigation unfolds, the public remains on edge, awaiting more details on the senator’s claims and the police’s findings regarding this disturbing incident.
