The political violence of April 10, 2010 resulted in a total of 26 deaths: 21 civilians and five soldiers (details below). Most of them died on two main spots, Kokwua intersection on Tanao Road and Dinso Road.

The presence of "black shirted men" in the incident emphasizes the importance of having an accurate timeline of the incident, but the reports of many fact-finding organizations still show some differences. Information from the People's Information Center and testimonies from witnesses however do indicate that the deceased were killed around the early evening before the appearance of the black shirted men.
