The police command in Kano says it has recovered an unspecified number of cows wandering around the Ranka Hotoro Quarters in Nasarawa Local Government Area of the state.

This is contained in a statement by its public relation officer, Abdullahi Kiyawa, in Kano on Sunday.

Mr Kiyawa said a good Samaritan sighted the missing cows on July 13 and drew the attention of the Hotoro Police Division.

“The good Samaritan told the police that while he was on his way to Rakat Hotoro Quarters Kano, he saw some cows wandering for over three hours.

“On receipt of the report, the residents of the area were contacted, and efforts to trace the rightful owners proved abortive,” he explained.

The statement similarly said on July 14, 2023, a resident reported the discovery of a bag, which ostensibly belonged to a passenger he had picked in his commercial tricycle.

“The discovery was lodged at the Hotoro Police Division, and all efforts to trace the owner proved abortive,” he said.

The statement advised residents seeking to claim any of the missing property to visit the office of the state’s police with proof of ownership.
