The Zamfara State Police Command has found and brought back 329 cattle that were stolen, 175 sheep, one AK-47 rifle, and 15 rounds of 7.62mm live bullets during a security mission in the state.
The police spokesperson, DSP Yazid Abubakar, shared this information in a statement given to journalists on Saturday.
The statement says, “On June 20, 2026, around 2:30 a.m., members of the Violent Crime Response Unit, along with soldiers, did a special operation in Gambanda Forest, which is in the Gumi Local Government Area.
“During the operation, the security group had a big fight with armed robbers using guns.” “The superior firepower and tactical response of the operatives forced the criminals to flee into the forest with possible injuries, successfully repelling the attack.
“As a result of the operation, the security team recovered 329 rustled cattle, 175 sheep, one AK-47 rifle and 15 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition.”
Abubakar said the Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmad Bello, commended the courage, professionalism and resilience displayed by the operatives.
The commissioner reaffirmed the command’s commitment to ending banditry and restoring lasting peace across Zamfara State.
He urged members of the public to continue supporting security agencies with timely and credible information that would aid ongoing efforts to rid the state of criminal elements.
