Police in Kano State have arrested four people who are suspected of attacking a poultry farm.
During the break in, the attackers allegedly killed about 84 chickens and stole 13 crates of eggs.
The raid happened on November 3 at a farm along Yankaba Road in the Tokarawa area of Kano.
Police say the attackers worked with other accomplices who are still on the run.
The first arrests came on November 6 at around 8:10 am.
Officers from the Special Intervention Squad stopped a blue Sharon Galaxy car along Kofar Dawanau.
Under questioning, the men confessed to taking part in the raid.
Two more suspects were picked up later, bringing the total in custody to four.
The suspects are Mohammed Ibrahim, 33, Aminu Abdullahi, 32, Lawan Dan Alhaji, 45, and Bashir Lawan, 45.
Police recovered 35 bags of chicken feed, a sharp knife, three daggers with blood stains, two fliers and the car used in the attack.
These items have been returned to the farm owner, who thanked the police for their quick action.
The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, praised the Special Intervention Squad for its alertness and intelligence work.
He warned criminals to stay away from crime and promised to keep working to make the state safe.
Police say they are still hunting the remaining suspects and trying to recover other stolen items.
They have asked the public to share credible information about suspicious people and activities.
The four suspects will be taken to court once the investigation is complete.
