The Kaduna State Police Command has invited the Senator representing Kaduna Central, Lawal Adamu Usman, over allegations of threats to life and false claims made against the state governor, Senator Uba Sani.
The rare development followed a petition submitted by Governor Sani through the Kaduna State Ministry of Justice. The invitation was conveyed in a letter signed by the State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Muhammad.
According to the letter, Senator Adamu, popularly known as La’ah, is expected to appear before the Commissioner of Police at the command headquarters on Monday, September 1, to respond to the allegations.
The governor accused the senator of making “false and injurious” statements capable of inciting unrest and undermining peace and security in the state.
Part of the letter read:
“Re: Threat to life, false and injurious allegations against His Excellency, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State.
This is to inform you that the Kaduna State Police Command received a formal letter of complaint against your humble self by His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State, through the Ministry of Justice, Kaduna State, in respect of the underlined offences highlighted above.
