73 cows were killed while 18 other cows were injured in an early morning attack on Yamadaga village, Kadarko community in Keana Local Government Area of Nasarawa State by suspected cattle rustlers.
The cattle rustlers invaded Kadarko community around 4:00 am on Sunday, January 29 shooting into the air. They were reported to have kidnapped two persons, chasing other cows into the bush in the process.
The victims of the attack who were mostly herdsmen claimed that the masterminds of the attack were Tiv farmers and that it was a reprisal attack.

Ahmed Abdullahi one of the cow owners said the rustlers unleashed mayhem when the villagers were asleep.
“I was sleeping and then I heard bullet sound everywhere, I didn’t see anybody but they killed my 73 cows, some of them were dispersed into the bush and I haven’t seen two of my children,” he said.

I didn't see or read any herdsmen killed so when did human life become equivalent to that of cow

More grease to their elbow

Nobody has the monopoly of violence. Don't start what you cannot finish. The same way they attack communities at midnight, they should also know that people can do same to you.
