Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State has said that there is a strong
linkage between Boko Haram and cattle rustlers that are terrorizing the
northern parts of the country.

Masari stated this during the opening ceremony of Two-day Cattle
Breeders/Dealers Stakeholders Meeting in Katsina on Tuesday.

He said it was because of the linkage that President Muhammadu Buhari
directed all security chiefs to join hands with the governors of eight
states in the north-west zone to tackle the menace of rustling.

The governor said Boko Haram insurgents and the cattle rustlers have
similar modes of operation by killing people and destroying their
property.

He said that most of the arms and ammunition that the criminals were using
to carry out their dastardly acts were being ferried into the country
through the usage of animals that crossed the forest.

He said the governors in the eight states that have the problem of cattle
rustling would soon create a databank for movement of cows from the north
to the south.

“We will harmonise and computerise the movement of cows from our region to
the south to checkmate the issue of cow theft.

“All cow dealers must get clearance of the commodity before moving them to
the south and anybody without the clearance papers would be arrested”, he
said.

Secretary to Katsina State Government, Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa, warned that
anybody caught disturbing the peace in the state would be arrested.

Inuwa warned that anybody caught indulging in cattle rustling would be
decisively dealt with.

He said Katsina Government recently released another N45 million to the
committee charged with stopping cattle rustling in north-west.

Inuwa appealed to parents and guardians to warn their children against
joining the cattle rustlers syndicate in the state. (NAN)
