Niger State Governor Umaru Bago who confirmed that 37 persons died in the incident, said last night that the state commandant of NSCDC, Suberu Siyaka Aniviye, had been placed on suspension.

Earlier, the state Commandant said the suspects died in detention following a suspected outbreak of disease in the early hours of Thursday.

He said the victims were among illegal miners arrested at the Mohammed Inuwa Wushishi Housing Estate and Lukoto village.

However, Aniviye did not disclose the number of deaths or the disease suspected to have caused them.
