Police nab suspected rustler, recover 90 livestock in Kaduna
The police command in Kaduna State says its operatives have arrested a suspected rustler and recovered 90 livestock on Saturday.
The command’s public relations officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, disclosed this to journalists on Sunday in Kaduna.
Mr Hassan said operatives arrested the suspect at about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday during a patrol near Kasuwan Dole in Millennium City.
“The suspect is from Kurmin Kaduna in Igabi Local Government Area of the state,” he stated.
Mr Hassan explained that the suspect was reportedly involved in the rustling of 65 cows and 25 sheep.
He said that the suspect could not provide a satisfactory account of the livestock upon further investigation and interrogation.
“This has raised suspicions about his involvement in rustling activities.
“As a result of that, the suspect was handed to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for thorough and diligent investigation,” Mr Hassan said.
He added that the area has remained calm while efforts such as raids, visibility policing and patrol were continuing to ensure the safety and security of the community.
