Akinsanya said the NSCDC Agro Ranger team arrested three suspected Fulani cattle rustlers at Kara Market in Ogbomosho for the theft of two cows belonging to one Mohammed Bello, valued at N500,000.
The commandant said the suspects, who are between 20 and 25 years, are from Niger and Kwara States.

He called on the people of the state to support NSCDC by providing vital information that would help to curb crime in the state.
