Operatives
of the Special Task Force (STF) in Plateau State have recovered over 218 cows stolen by cattle rustlers in various parts
of the state, this is according to a news report on the website of the Defence HQ.
Some of the cattle were salvaged when troops carrying out
special patrols to deescalate cattle rustling in the region were
alerted to a group of youthful cattle rustlers who had made away with
some cattle after killing herdsmen at Kanke town. The Operatives who
swiftly trailed and intercepted the rustlers have taken one of the
suspects into custody for preliminary investigations after which he will
be handed over to the appropriate prosecuting agency.
