Five persons are still missing and troops are searching for them in the general area. Six huts were burnt in the attack.

Aisha Mohammed (20 years) and Sadiya Abdullahi (25 years) who were wounded in the Kauru LGA reprisal attack are receiving medical attention at Ungwan Idi Clinic.

At Ningi village of Lere local government area, the two herders were injured and rushed to General Hospital, Saminaka, in the same local government:

1. Bingel Odi (31 years)
2. Isa Joda (Seven years)

Governor Nasir El-Rufai who condemned the renewed counter killings sent condolences to the families that lost their loved and wished those recuperating speedy recovery.

He described the renewed killing and counter killing of innocent citizens of Atyap and Fulani ethnicity as unfortunate. He decried the resort to violence, noting that it is not a solution to grievances and disputes, but a tragic way to escalate matters and drag people into more pains and misery.

The governor directed the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to provide relief materials to the affected families with immediate effect.
