anti-crime: Police recover 80 stolen cows in Sokoto

Between Sept. 17 and 22, Sokoto State Police  recovered  80 stolen cattle  . It was announced by the sokoto state police command on Monday . Sabo Kurawa, The command’s Spokesman, who made the announcement at a news briefing in Sokoto,
said they had arrested three suspects . Mr. Kurawa said that 34 of the animals  recovered  belonged to one man by name, Lawali Gidan-Igwai.The spokesman said the owner had reported to the police that  he was attacked by three people with guns and the 3 people took his 46 cows while grazing at a forest  in Birisawa village of Tureta Local Government.Mr. Kurawa's words, “The police cordoned off the forest and were able to recover thirty four out of the fourty six cows stolen,” he explained.Mr. Kurawa further stated that two of the three suspects were held at the State CIID while one was at the Tureta police division.The police spokesman said that the remaining animals were found wandering in Zugu forest without a herdsman on Sept. 22.“Police acted on the information and moved to the forest along with the vigilante group where they sighted a number of cows without a herdsman.“It is highly expected that the cows were stolen and later abandoned by cattle rustlers. Forty six cows were recovered in the same bush, on the same day,” .A cow in the market is close to or more than  N100,000 . 46 cows is really a lot of money. I wonder how they planned to escape with forty-six cows, its totally insane. Would they have made the cows disappear?? Because I have seen cows before and they are not like lizards that you can catch and put in a bag.
