Among the seven reportedly killed was Abdulmumuni Mohammed, who was the village head of Masama in Duma District of Borgu Local Government Area of the state.

An eyewitness said the storm, which was later accompanied by a heavy rain, blew off the roof of the palace of the village head, making part of the roof and the building to collapse on him.

Property worth millions of naira, including places of worship, schools and livestock, were destroyed by the storm.
