The police command in Kaduna State said its operatives have arrested five suspected cattle rustlers and recovered four cows.
The command’s police public relations officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, told journalists on Monday in Kaduna that the suspects were arrested in Tafa town in Kagarko Local Government Area of the state.
“On December 30, 2023, at about 6:30 p.m., acting on credible information, our operatives and Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) arrested a suspect aged 20 and brought him to the police station,” he said.
According to him, the suspect was in possession of four suspected stolen cows loaded in a vehicle.
He explained that after an investigation, the principal suspect confessed that the cows were entrusted to him to rear by a farm manager in Sabon Wuse town.
”The principal suspect said they conspired with the other four suspects to sell the stolen cows,” he said.
Mr Hassan said the suspects are all in police custody for further investigation and would be charged in court upon completion.
He said the cows’ owner has been identified, and the cows have been handed over.
