NSCDC arrest Herdsman for allegedly stabbing a farmer to death

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 Lafia
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
