Troops of the Nigerian Army have foiled an alleged cattle-rustling incident and recovered 37 cattle and 12 sheep in Ts aure Village, Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred at about 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 18, when troops of 3 Brigade deployed at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Ts aure responded to a report of livestock rustling in the community.
On arrival, the suspected rustlers reportedly fled, abandoning the livestock.
The troops subsequently recovered 37 cattle and 12 sheep, which were taken into custody pending handover to their rightful owners.
