Security operatives in Kaduna have debunked an alleged assassination attempt on the life of National Assembly lawmaker, Senator Lawal Adamu Usman, stating that it is unknown to the police in the state.

Meanwhile, Usman, who is representing Kaduna Central Zone, claimed that he escaped an assassination attempt by some thugs.

Denouncing the senator’s claims, the spokesman of the Police Command in the state, DSP Mansir Hassan, said in a statement on Thursday: “The attention of the command has been drawn to a publication on the Facebook handle of Senator Lawal Adamu Usman, PDP, representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, alleging that he escaped an assassination attempt by some thugs in a yet-to-be-identified location in Kaduna North on 02/01/25,” pointing out that “no time of the incident was given.

“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 proved abortive.”

However, he added that the Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Rabiu, 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 stressed further.
