According to a community source named Adaji, the elderly widow and three of the children were unconscious when they arrived at the hospital.

Dr. Oyaje Sule, the owner of Dr. Gana Clinic, confirmed that the seven patients were admitted to his facility. He reported that three of them, including the widow, were brought in unconscious but have since been revived.
