The police command in Plateau has recovered 77 cows suspected to have been rustled at the Company Zurak community in Wase Local Government Area.
The command’s police public relations officer, DSP Alfred Alabo, stated this in a statement on Wednesday in Jos.
Mr Alabo said the cows rustled on September 11 belonged to one Idris Yunusa of the Gajin Duguri community in the Alkaleri Council Area of Bauchi State.
”According to the intelligence report, the cows were rustled from a herder while grazing while they went toward Odare forest in Kampani Zurak village of Wase LGA.
”On receipt of the information, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Bashar immediately led a team of armed personnel, in conjunction with local security outfits and hunters, and intercepted the suspects.
”On sighting the security personnel, the suspects ran into the nearby forests. However, 77 cows were recovered and released to the owner,” he said.
Mr Alabo said the command was intensifying efforts toward arresting the suspects and making them face the wrath of the law.
He said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Julius Alawari, assured the state’s people of the command’s commitment to the safety of lives and property.
