Over 50 Cows Smuggled Into Rivers State From The North - Culprits Arrested, Residents Apprehensive

The people of Rivers State are apprehensive, following the arrest of over 20 Northern youths who smuggled about 50 cows with 27 recorded dead in a truck with registration number (RGM 104 XA), through Adamawa, Okigwe routes to Igwuruta in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.

According to POLITICSNGR, Hon. Engr Samuel Nwanosike JP, the Executive Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, swam into action by contacting Igwuruta Division of Nigerian police for immediate arrest and investigation.

Hon. Nwanosike also contacted Dr. Ekanam, Director Primary Health Care, and Dr. Joy Wohioka, who is in charge of Health Care, Ikwerre Local government area of the state, to join forces with the police for proper investigation.

The residents of the community are already apprehensive following the ugly development.

Many Kelga residents who spoke with the press, but pleaded anonymity, were of the opinion that the development has a political undertone and therefore called on the government not to sweep the investigation under the carpet.

Before the arrival of security agents, it was discovered that over four cows among the dead had been distributed and sold for public consumption.
