THE Salaga Magistrate’s Court has remanded two Fulani herdsmen into prison custody for their alleged involvement in the murder of butchers at Kabache, near Salaga, last week.
The suspects, Mahamadu Hassan, 44, and Ali Sandow, 33, who were served with the provisional charge of murder, are to reappear before the court on June 1, 2010.
Other suspects are, however, on the run.
On Tuesday, May 11, the deceased, Alhassan Gado, 27, and Sulemana Muntaka, 21, were allegedly murdered by some Fulani herdsmen when they went to Kabache to buy some cows.
Their bodies were later found in the bush by a search party after they failed to return home the next day. Upon careful examination of the bodies, it was found that they had been shot with locally manufactured guns.
Three cartridges were found at the crime scene.
Butchers in Salaga later threatened to avenge the death of their colleagues, if immediate measures were not taken to arrest and punish the suspects behind the murder.
