Police begins probe as PDP senator raises alarm over assasination attempt

The Kaduna State Police Command has launched an investigation into an alleged assassination attempt on Senator Usman Lawal, representing Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone.

A statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, revealed that the police are yet to receive a formal complaint from the senator but were alerted by a post on his official Facebook page.

The post claimed that Senator Lawal, a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), escaped an attack by unidentified assailants within Kaduna North on January 2, 2025.

However, critical details such as the time and exact location of the incident were not provided.

“Without mincing words, the command is yet to receive any formal complaint from the distinguished senator, aside from this astonishing publication on social media, and all efforts to contact him have proved abortive,” the statement read.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Muhammad Rabiu, has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the matter, urging the senator to cooperate with law enforcement to clarify the claims and assist in uncovering the truth.
