Six persons have been killed in Niger State by Cattle rustlers.
In Niger State, Cattle rustlers have reported killed Six persons in an attack in Kukoki community of Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State, definitely.
Having made research to this effect, it was gathered that, Mark Jagaba, the council’s chairman, Mark Jagaba, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Minna that the attack lasted for about four hours.
He also added that four Fulani and two Gbagyi were killed while several women and children were injured (terrifying right).
Members of the community reported that the suspects, numbering about 50 and armed with weapons, stormed the community at about 7am shooting in all directions, he added.
Here's the interesting part, Jagaba said the cattle rustlers stole over 700 cows and an undisclosed number of goats and sheep before fleeing the community. Makes me wonder if it's part of recession, are they gathering these cattles to sell them or what(rhetorical though).
Meanwhile, this attack came barely three weeks after nine people were killed in a similar incident in the Kurebe and Kwaki Chukuba wards of Shiroro Local Government Area.
Nevertheless, peace had since returned to the area.
As words of advice, the chairman appealed to security agencies in the state to assist a vigilance group in the area to check cattle rustlers and indiscriminate killings of innocent people.
Also, having confirmed the attack, Bala Elkana, the Police Public Relations Officer, Niger State, said that two suspects had been arrested while efforts were on to apprehend the others.
Elkana, added that the command had yet to ascertain the actual number of cows stolen by the attackers.
He said that the police to this effect had beefed up security within the community and its environs.
However, that the police anti-cattle rustling team were searching the forest through which the invaders escaped.
