Neither the state government nor the military has confirmed the incident.

Over the last few months, groups of armed bandits have kidnapped, tortured and killed hundreds of people across northwest and central Nigeria, demanding ransoms and looting citizens, rich and poor. Consequently, millions of people have been displaced.

On April 3, the lawbreakers raided Jere, in the same Kagarko LGA, and kidnapped some people.
