Niger miners' deaths: Tinubu orders probe, vows to...
原文原文 / Original TextPresident Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered a full and transparent investigation into the deaths of suspected illegal miners detained by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Minna, Niger State.
This was disclosed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement on Friday.
President Tinubu said the life of every Nigerian matters and that no citizen should lose his life while in government custody “as a result of negligence, abuse, inhumane treatment or dereliction of duty.”
At least 37 suspected miners in detention were said to have lost their lives in Niger State.
The development led to unrest, with the state government declaring a curfew in the state.
Meanwhile, Onanuga quoted President Tinubu as expressing deep concern over the reported deaths, describing the development as a grave matter that requires urgent investigation and accountability.
“While the Federal Government would continue to combat illegal mining and other criminal activities across the country, enforcement operations must be conducted strictly within the law and with full respect for the dignity and fundamental rights of every person in custody.
“The fact that these individuals were suspected of illegal mining does not in any way remove their right to life, dignity and humane treatment while in government custody. Government will not tolerate mass deaths arising from official negligence, dereliction of duty or failure by public officials to protect the lives placed under their care.
