Thursday, January 30, 2025 - Troops of the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army, operating under Operation Golden Peace, have again intercepted rustled livestock and arrested three suspected cattle rustlers in Taraba State.
According to a statement released on Wednesday by the Acting
Spokesperson of the Brigade, Captain Oni Olubodunde, the operation was carried
out following an intelligence report that alerted the troops to the movement of
stolen livestock.
“Acting on intelligence, the soldiers apprehended the suspects—Sabiu
Lawal, Haruna Ayuba, and Yusuf Mukawo, all from Kampanin Zurak, Plateau
State—on January 27, 2025, at Namnai village in Gassol Local Government Area.
The suspects were found in possession of 174 cows and 57 sheep,
allegedly stolen from border villages between Plateau and Taraba States,” the
statement read.
“The brigade also announced that preliminary investigations revealed
that the rustled animals were being transported to Cameroon, through Karamati
in Gashaka Local Government Area. Efforts are ongoing to verify ownership and
return the livestock to their rightful owners,” he said.
While reaffirming its commitment to tackling crime, the brigade urged residents to continue providing security agencies with credible information to enhance ongoing efforts to maintain peace and stability.
