According to Umar Adamu, a local resident, they stormed Kwakuti and stole away many motorcycles. He stated,

“They however went attacking neighbouring villages, seizing motorcycles and setting houses ablaze”  The state police spokesperson, Wasiu Abiodun who confirmed the incident, said it happened around 3pm.

Abiodun said the terrorists came out from the forest and escaped through the forest after being engaged by men of the police force and the military from Suleja. He added that the number of people abducted cannot be ascertained at the moment.
