A suspected bandit informant, simply identified as Dan Abba, has been arrested with a stolen cow by vigilantes at Bishini village market in the Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Daily Trust reports that a resident of Azzara, neighbouring Bishini village, Ahmadu Sajo, stated that the incident happened last Thursday when the suspect brought a stolen cow to sell at the market.
According to him, the suspect was among bandits’ informants suspected to have given information to bandits, who recently abducted herders and rustled their cows at Kuchimi and Haying-Dam as well as the Gidan-Makeri area of Kagarko town.
He explained that the troops in the area had declared the suspect among other fleeing suspects wanted, adding that luck ran out of him when he was caught with a stolen cow at the village market.
He further disclosed that the suspect had been handed over to troops along with the stolen cow.
“The vigilantes suspected that the cow the suspect brought to the market might be among those cows that were stolen two weeks ago at a village in Kagarko LGA,” he added.
