“Upon investigation into the matter, it was discovered that the cows were among the 217 rustled at Kangere village of Bauchi state.”

According to him, the revelation prompted the command to deploy more operatives with a view to recovering the remaining rustled cattle.

“The efforts immediately paid off with the recovery of 60 cows, 20 sheep and the arrest of six suspects in a forest in Kachia LGA, Kaduna state.

“Further investigation revealed that more of the cows were kept in the forest.”
