Narrating the attack to our correspondent, Alhaji Adiya said the rustled animals are those expected to be sold for the coming Sallah celebration. According to him, “I left the farm to my house, a little after midnight and there was no premonition that the farm would come under attack. “I was only woken up early this morning, with the sad news that the farm was attacked and several herds of cow, rams and sheep that we are expected to sell at this coming Sallah festivity have been stolen.
“On rushing to the farm, the only explanation from the security men was that they were on alert till 3am and only discovered that herds of cows had been stolen this morning.
