An 18-year-old Fulani Herdsmen, Umaru Abdulai has been arrested by the Gomoa Dominase District Police Command for allegedly stealing 20 cows worth GHC200,000 at Gomoa Dominase Onion Market in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.
The suspect and his accomplices have stolen the cows from different people in the Gomoa Dominase enclave and sold them to butchers at Awutu Bawjiase and used some of the money to buy cows from the northern region.
One of the victims, who spoke on behalf of the rest in an interview with Kasapa News Yaw Boagyan said, the suspect and his accomplices will usually come to the onion market during the daytime ostensibly to buy goods in the market, but their real intention is to spy the cows and identify the big ones.
Umar Inusah said, the suspect will then come in the night and steal the big cows they identified and sell them to Butchers.
He said, a farmer who saw their daily operations, informed a police officer who stays in his house leading to the arrest of suspect while his accomplices are on the run.
The suspect is assisting police investigation at the Gomoa Dominase police station.
Meanwhile, Umar Inusah said, the Fulani Herdsmen are disturbing the Onion sellers at Gomoa Dominase, hence called on the government to sack them else they will take the law into their own hand and defend their cows.
