The Police Command in Sokoto State has successfully repelled two separate bandits’ attacks in Tureta Local Government Area, recovering 137 rustled cows during coordinated security operations.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the incidents occurred in Fura Kirke and Bimasa villages on Sunday and Tuesday, respectively.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Rufai, disclosed this in a statement in Sokoto
According to Rufai, the first operation followed a distress call on June 28 reporting that heavily armed bandits have invaded Fura Kirke Village, shooting sporadically and rustling livestock belonging to residents.
He said the police command immediately mobilised all tactical units, including the anti-kidnapping unit and the Village Crime Response Centre (VCRC), to respond to the attack.
