The order of investigation is contained in a statement by Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Mansir Hassan, on Thursday in Kaduna.
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 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 that the commissioner of police has therefore, ordered a full-scale investigation into the matter.
The Kaduna State Police Command further reiterated its commitment to providing adequate security for all and sundry within the state,
