Well
since arm robbers started stealing fowl and others, am not really surprise on
this particular development. In case you still don’t know where am driving at,
reports have it that no fewer than 600 rams and cows were carted away by
armed bandits in Billashe village in Birnin Magaji Local Government Area of
Zamfara State on Thursday, 2 October, 2014.
Daily Trust reports that residents of the village informed
that the incident occurred in the night, lamenting that the incident will
prevent many of them from slaughtering rams during the Eid-el-Kabir festival
holding today, Saturday, 4 October, 2014.
It was gathered that the bandits carried out the robbery
operation on a house-to-house basis.
A source stated that some residents of the affected villages
went after the bandits and recovered their animals.
“You
know Eid el-Kabir is approaching and it is a tradition for families in rural
Zamfara to rear rams and other domestic animals for sacrifice and sale, but the
bandits have disrupted the plans by their action.
Some residents of the village fled the area for
safety and I accommodated two of them in my house,” a
resident told newsmen.
While confirming the
incident, the spokesman of Zamfara state police command, Lawan Abdullahi,
informed that they were working with other security outfits to recover the
stolen animals.
Abdullahi added that cattle rustling still exists in the
area because of the difficult terrain in most areas in the state, saying most
of the villages are inaccessible due to bad roads and poor telephone networks.
He, however, added that between June and August this year,
the command in collaboration with the military was able to recover 2,219 stolen
cows.
The police boss informed that the Divisional Police Officer attached to the local government and a suspected cattle rustler escaped lynching by a mob in Nassarawa Godel village earlier in the week.
