The Nasarawa State Command of Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has
arrested a herdsman who allegedly stabbed a
farmer identified as Nasiru Mohammed to
death, following an argument over the invasion
of a farm. The herdsman’s cattle had strayed
into Mohammed’s farm at Angwan Arimi in
Bassa Village, Kokona LGA of the state and
destroyed his farm crops.
Upon seeing the level of destruction the cattle
had done, he attempted to alert the villagers
but was hounded and stabbed severally to
death by the herdsman.
Lawan Bashir-Kano, the state Commandant of
NSCDC, who made the disclosure in Lafayette
yesterday, confirmed the suspect was arrested
after they received a tip-off from a vigilante
group they collaborated with in the area.
After his arrest, the Herdsman confessed to the
crime and would be handed over to the police
for further investigation and prosecution.
