The Kaduna State Police Command reiterates its commitment to providing adequate security for all and sundry within the state
The Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Rabiu, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the alleged assassination attempt on Senator Usman Lawal (PDP Kaduna-Central).
The order of investigation is contained in a statement by the command’s spokesperson, DSP Mansir Hassan, on Thursday in Kaduna.
Mr Hassan said, “The alleged assassination attempt on Senator Usman Lawal is unknown to the police. 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 has 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.’’
He noted that the CP had therefore ordered a full-scale investigation into the matter.
Mr Hassan stated, “The Kaduna State Police Command reiterates its commitment to providing adequate security for all and sundry within the state.’’ NAN
