“But the suspect reared the cattle for only one month as he ran away with 17 of the cows and relocated with the rustle cows to Kura village in Kaiama local government area of Kwara State.
“The matter was first reported by the owner of the cows at our divisional office in Igbaja before the matter was transfered to the Intelligence and Investigations department at the State Command where painstaking investigations were carried out after the arrest of suspect.”
“Findings revealed that the suspect has sold three of the stolen cows valued at N600,000 while the remaining 14 cows were recovered from him.”
