NSCDC Arrests Man For Allegedly Stealing Eight Goats In Jigawa State

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps in Jigawa State on Tuesday said it arrested a 30-year-old man for allegedly stealing eight goats.

The state NSCDC Commandant, Mr Muhammad Gidado, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the suspect was a resident of Azarawa village in the Babura Local Government Area.

Gidado said the suspect allegedly stole the goats from Achiya village in the same LGA, but was apprehended in Aujara village in the Jahun Local Government Area.

The commandant said the suspect was arrested after he failed to give a satisfactory explanation on how he got the goats.

According to him, preliminary investigation shows that the suspect is among a gang terrorising residents of the area and stealing their animals.

Gidado also announced the arrest of a suspected cattle rustler after series of complaints from communities in Guri and Birniwa local government areas.

The commandant said the man was apprehended following intelligence reports on his movement in the area, while another suspect believed to be his accomplice, was on the run.

Gidado said all the suspects would be prosecuted as soon as investigation was concluded.
