Sen. Pwajok commends STF over arrest of cattle rustlers

Senator representing Plateau North in Nigerias Senate, Gyang Pwajok has commended the Special Task Force (STF) over the arrest of 16 cattle rustlers, saying that the feat will restore peace to troubled Plateau North.
Pwajok (PDP-Plateau North), who made the disclosure when he reacted to the arrest, said that bursting the racket would ``certainly reduce future excuses for such attacks’’.
``We expect a huge reduction in such attacks, except if the conflict merchants come up with new excuses,’’ he said.
He added, however, that the STF must go beyond the cattle racket and identify the killer squads behind the killings in Plateau.
``What we have always had are all manners of atrocities over cow theft; in terms of balance of scale, no human life should be compared with that of a cow.
