Police debunk report of bandit attack on Sokoto ranch

Sokoto State Police Command has debunked report of bandits attacking a ranch close to Sultan Abubakar III International Airport in the state. 

Spokesman for the command, DSP Sanusi Abubakar said the command received information on intrusion into the farm and escape of 315 livestock on June 28 at about 2:30 am. 

Upon receiving the information, the Commissioner of Police, Muhammed Usaini Gumel deployed tactical teams for fact-finding and on-the-spot assessment of the incident.  

Abubakar said; 

“There followed the deployment of the investigation team to unravel the circumstances that led to the situation. 

“Fortunately, on 29/06/2022 at about 1pm, information was received from the owner of the ranch, Alhaji Abdullahi S. Gobir Adiya that, 135 among the rustled livestock have returned back to the farm comprising of 65 bulls and 78 rams respectively.
