Jigawa police recover three cows from suspected cattle rustler

The Jigawa Police Command has said that its operatives have successfully traced and recovered three cows suspected to be stolen from the residence of one Muktari Ibrahim, a suspected cattle rustler.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Shiisu Lawan Adam Command’s Spokesperson, disclosed this in a statement.

He said the 23-year-old Ibrahim, residing in Sabuwar Unguwa, Kiyawa LGA, was located following a tip-off received by the authorities.

“On November 13th, 2023, at approximately 8:00 AM, Umar Musa (20 years old) and Idris Ismail (30 years old) from Malamawa village, Kiyawa LGA, reported to the Kiyawa Divisional Police Headquarters that unknown thieves had conspired and trespassed into their houses at around 3:00 am the same day, stealing three cows valued at ₦1,150,000.00,” DSP Shiitu said.

He pointed out that during questioning, Ibrahim revealed that he had received the stolen cows from one Yusuf, who was still at large.

He added that the recovered cows have since been released on bond to their rightful owners, stressing that the police authorities are actively intensifying efforts to apprehend the fleeing suspects.

He said the suspects would be charged in court to face the full consequences of their actions.
