The abductions took place in a series of attacks targeting residents of Kakuru in Munya Local Government Area, as well as Adogo Mallam and Tunga Kawo communities in Shiroro Local Government Area. Kakuru, where one of the abductions occurred, is approximately five kilometers away from Kuchi community, where another distressing kidnapping of 150 villagers happened the previous week.

One of the hostages from Kuchi was released with the task of raising a ransom of ₦60 million for his wife and four children still in captivity. Sources revealed that the affected communities attempted negotiations, initially offering ₦60,000 per victim, which was rejected.
