The Nigeria Police have confirmed that a 20-year-old herder, Manu Mamuda, has gone missing following a violent attack by suspected gunmen on a grazing field in Labau village, Wuroyanka District, Shelleng Local Government Area of Adamawa State. Spokesperson for the Adamawa State Police Command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, told on Tuesday that the incident occurred on Sunday afternoon when Mamuda went out to graze his family’s cattle and failed to return home. Family members and local hunters subsequently organized a search party, which led to the discovery of Mamuda’s blood-stained cap and shoes at the grazing site. Residents said the attackers also killed 33 cattle, injured six others, and rustled 18 during the raid. Items recovered from the scene included two arrows, an empty cartridge shell, and an empty AK-47 ammunition shell. SP Nguroje added that police operatives have been deployed to the area to apprehend the perpetrators, rescue the missing herder, and recover the rustled cattle. As of Tuesday, Mamuda had yet to be found, while vigilantes and hunters continue efforts to trace the attackers and recover the remaining livestock.
