Police rescue 83 rustled cows
The police in Adamawa have rescued 83 rustled cows and arrested two for transborder rustling.
This is contained in a statement issued by Suleiman Nguroje, the spokesperson for the command in Yola.
”We received information from a reliable informant about their movements of some persons in Gombi local government area.
”Following the tip, on June 2, operatives attached to Gombi division moved to the area, and some two suspects were arrested with the help of some hunters in the area,” Mr Nguroje.
He added, ”Those arrested are one Njidda Ardo, 32, and Julde Ali,30. Upon further investigation, 83 cows suspected to have been stolen somewhere in Borno were recovered.”
On the strength of that, he said police commissioner Aliyu Alhaji commended the divisional police officer Gombi and his men for foiling attempts by the suspects to rustle the cow.
The commissioner urged the public, particularly those whose cows were stolen, to report to Gombi divisional police headquarters with proof to claim their cattle.
He further called on the public to continue to give credible information regarding any person of suspicious characters around their neighbourhood to the police.
He assured that the police would prosecute the suspects.
