According to the Jigawa State Police Command, its agents have located and retrieved three cows that were allegedly taken from the home of Muktari Ibrahim, a suspected cattle rustler.
This was revealed in a statement by DSP Shiisu Lawan Adam, the command’s public relations officer.
He added that the 23-year-old was given to the police.
“Umar Musa, 20, and Idris Ismail, 30, from Malamawa village, Kiyawa LGA, reported to the Kiyawa Divisional Police Headquarters on November 13, 2023, at approximately 8:00 am, that unknown thieves had conspired and trespassed into their houses at around 3:00 am that same day, stealing three cows valued at N1,150,000.00,” DSP Shiitu stated.
He drew attention to the fact that Muktari Ibrahim confessed to receiving the stolen cows from a man named Yusuf—who was still at large—during interrogation.
He emphasized that the police authorities were actively stepping up their attempts to capture the escaping offenders and noted that the recovered cows had since been returned on bond to their respective owners.
He declared that the accused would be brought up in court and made to pay for their crimes in full.
