The Plateau State Government has initiated an investigation into the alleged poisoning of 36 cows in the Zanwar community.

This incident occurred on Wednesday, shortly after Governor Caleb Mutfwang visited the area to express condolences to victims of a recent bandit attack.

Ya’u Idris, the chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, stated that the cows likely ingested poisonous garden eggs spread across their grazing land.

The government urged the public to remain calm and avoid speculation, while a team of experts has been dispatched to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The government remains committed to promoting peaceful cohabitation, inclusive dialogue, and sustainable solutions to long-standing issues related to land use and grazing.
— The government's spokesperson, Joyce Ramnap, stated this in the context of the investigation into the poisoning incident.
