The Kaduna State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of
15 suspects who allegedly killed 706 cows and 75 sheep in Atiyap chiefdom of
Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of the State.
In a statement issued by the State Police Public Relations

slaughtering them.
The PPRO who lamented the level of crime being perpetrated
by some elements in the State, said the command would employ all necessary
strategies to ensure normalcy returns to the State.
According to him, the 15 suspects are currently assisting the command with information on the activities of other criminal elements in the State.
He added: “On 24th March, 2021 at about 1000hrs, some
herdsmen reported at Divisional Police Headquarters, Zonkwa, Kaduna that some
uncertain number of persons had attacked some of their herds; killing seven
hundred and six (706) cows and seventy-five (75) sheep and dumping them in a
ditch.
“On getting the complaint, operatives immediately swung into
action, visited the scene of the incident, took necessary photographs and
expanded their investigation which led to the arrest of fifteen (15) suspects
in connection with the barbaric act within the following villages; Mate,
Unguwan Tabo, Unguwan Rohogu, Runji, Mashan, Mashan Daji and Wawan Rafi all of

their hands, stressing that there would be no meaningful development in the
State if criminal activities persist.
