Reports on the exact death toll vary slightly between sources, with one account documenting 33 bodies laid out in a hospital ward and another reporting at least 37 fatalities, including teenagers. The deceased were being held by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) before the incident came to light.
