Confirming the casualties hours after the incident, the state police command speaking through its spokesperson, Orlando Ikeokwu, said that a police sergeant and two personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) were the casualties.

He noted that while the gunmen killed one NSCDC operative in the governor’s compound, another NSCDC personnel and a police sergeant were killed by the attackers while escaping from the compound.
