7 Cattle Rustlers Killed in Wase LGC of Plateau

At least eight people have been killed in Wase local government area of Plateau State when a group of cattle rustlers attempted to rustle cattle few kilometres away from Wase town.


According reports by LEADERSHIP, seven cattle rustlers were killed while a young man from Wase town was shot by security operatives when he was seen carrying arms but resisted arrest.

The cattle rustlers allegedly from Kadarko area in the same council had attacked some herders on Saturday evening.

The herders had then sought refuge in Wase town. Later there was a shootout between the rustlers and the youths from Wase town.

Ibrahim Audu Wase told Leadership's correspondent that "our youths tried to repel the rustlers and it led to a shootout which claimed the lives of seven rustlers".

Audu explained: "I think those who escaped went back to tell other members because around 7am (yesterday) they came back with reinforcement and there was sporadic shootings.

"We saw them approaching Wase town and so we armed ourselves and went to repel them."
