Cattle rustlers on Friday killed one Tanko Nyam, a
cattle breeder in Kyaru village, Daddu District of
Jaba Local Government Area, Kaduna State. The News Agency of Nigeria learnt that the
deceased was killed in the early hours of the day
when he trailed the rustlers who carted away 20
cows belonging to him. The District Head of Daddu, Bello Shamaki, told
NAN that the deceased, alongside others, trailed
the rustlers from Kyari village to Kagoma in Jema’a
Local Government Area. “The rustlers noticed he was trailing them and,
therefore, shot and killed him instantly, after
setting his motorcycle ablaze,” Shamaki said. The district head said the others who trailed the
rustlers alongside the deceased, subsequently
took cover in nearby bushes. He expressed concern over the spate of cattle
rustling in the area and called on government to
take drastic measures to stem the menace. He said the ugly trend had always led to wanton
loss of lives and property besides the trauma that
often trailed such attacks. Also confirming the incident, Mr Philip Galadima,
Director, Personnel Management at the local
Government, said the local authority had met with
stakeholders, especially security agents to discuss
ways of enhancing security in the area. Galadima appealed to the people not to take the
law into their hands by avoiding any act that could
lead to a breach of the peace.
