He said: “The looters dismantled tractors and harvesters. Their atrocities have taken us 10 years backward.”

The SSG urged those in possession of the looted items to hand them over to their respective ward heads and commended Governor Ahmadu Fintiri for the prompt action that led to the success recorded in the recovery exercise.

According to him, a committee would soon be set up to identify owners of the recovered items.
