A notorious robber and cattle rustler who was arrested by following days of investigation by the security agents for allegedly stealing cows in the area along with his gang members, had a mock face waiting for residents of Gwaza area of Gusau, Zamfara state capital.
The cattle rustler stuck out his tongue for the residents, who gathered to watch him being taken into custody by officers attached to the Zamfara State Police Command. Here’s the photo below;
We reported few days ago, that Cattle rustlers identified as Hammanjulde Yahya, 50; Umaru Yahya, 40; Paul Samuel, 35; Juli Adamu, 30; Ibrahim Yusufa, 27; and Usumanu Buba, 25, were arrested by a military patrol team from the 20 Mechanised Battalion, Serti, operating in Mambilla, Taraba State, while they were in Nyogor forest sharing meats from cows they rustled.
Parading the suspects, the Commanding Officer of the Battalion, Lt.-Col. Sani Adamu said 30 cows were recovered from the suspects who were arrested by soldiers in Mayo-Ndaga in Sardauna Local Government Area of the state, who were in the troubled are where several persons had been killed, and hundreds of cows stolen earlier in the month.
Acting on intelligence, the soldiers invaded the forest when they got information that the cattle rustlers were in the forest.
The commanding officer told a NAN correspondent;
“When we entered the bush on Sunday, March 25, we caught them (suspects) sharing the meat of the stolen cows in Nyogor forest. Further search into the deep forest led to the recovery of 30 stolen cows, which have been handed over to community leaders in Mayo-Ndaga for proper identification by their owners.”
He concluded by advising people to live in peace, while imploring those in possession of stolen cows to quietly return them to community leaders or security agents and be pardoned.
“Those who refuse to adhere to this advice should blame themselves for whatever happens to them when they are caught,” he said.
