Troops of
the Nigerian Navy School of Armament Technology, Kachia, in Kacjia Local
Government Area of Kaduna State have arrested five bandits who are said to be
rustlers too.
The formation paraded the
suspects on Tuesday saying that 267 cows and 51 sheep were recovered from the
bandits on Saturday, October 26.
The
Commandant of the Navy School, Commodore Tanko Pani while handing over the
animals to the state security outfit, ‘Operation Yaki’ at the school,
15kilometres away the state capital, said the formations would intensify
efforts to rid the area and its environs of banditry and other related crimes.
He also warned kidnappers and
other bandits operating around the area to steer clear.
The Commandant said, “We shall
continue to locate criminal hideouts and smoke them out.
“Following a distress call
about the presence of invading cattle rustlers in Kujama forest on October 26,
we deployed troops to carry out a hot pursuit of the criminals.
“Fortunately, the troops
intercepted and recovered 267 cows and arrested five cattle rustlers while
others escaped into the bush.
“We have been able to restore
sanity in a few months since my assumption of office at the Command as
Commandant as attested to by the communities and motorists plying Kachia –
Kaduna, and Kachia – Jere Roads. This is isolated case and we will be doing our
best to consolidate on current successes without compromise.
“Criminals should know there
is no room for them here. We shall continue to locate criminal hideouts and
smoke them out.”
The Commandant also appealed
to communities around to provide useful and credible intelligence so as to
enable the command to respond to distress calls at the right time.
