FG inaugurates panel probing miners' deaths








原文原文 / Original Text

The Federal Government has inaugurated the panel set up to investigate the deaths of 37 suspected illegal miners arrested by the Nigerian Civil Defence and Security Corps (NSCDC) in Niger State.

The miners, who died between Thursday and Friday, were locked up in a tiny cell were they were reportedly suffocated to death.

President Bola Tinubu had lamented over the incident and directed investigation.

Subsequently, the Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, constituted a 10-member independent committee to investigate the deaths.

The Minister also directed the suspension of all officers involved in the incident pending the conclusion of the independent committee’s investigation.

Describing the deaths as deeply disturbing, the Minister said the government owes the families of the deceased and the Nigerian public a transparent account of the events leading to the incident.

The independent committee was asked to establish the identities of the deceased, and investigate their arrests, detention and the cause and circumstances of their deaths.

The Minister directed the committee to determine responsibility, complicity, negligence, and misconduct, and to recommend appropriate action, compensation where applicable, and measures to prevent a recurrence.
