Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as locally common in Nigeria and not common in Cameroon (Fry and Keith 2004).
Trend justification: The species's population is suspected to be declining in line with the clearance of forest within its range, although the likely rate of decline has not been estimated.
