According to an earlier report by Daily Trust, the incident occurred on June 9, 2025, when two herders, along with a driver, were abducted a few kilometers away from the Daku community.

The arrest of the suspect at the bustling Izom Cattle Market—an important trading hub for livestock in the region—raises concerns about the possible use of such markets as hideouts or operational bases for criminal elements. Authorities believe the suspect may have been attempting to sell stolen cattle or blend into the market environment to avoid detection.
