Minna: Death of over 30 Youth In Detention Must Be Investigated
The Nigerian authorities must immediately set up an independent investigation of today’s death of over 30 youth — including minors — in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Minna Niger state. The victims were arrested on September 15 and 16, 2026 at mining sites located at M.I. Wushishi/Lukoto axis of Minna. This loss of lives cannot go unanswered.
Government must promptly, thoroughly, independently, impartially, transparently, and effectively, investigate how detention for one to two days descended into a disaster that killed minors. Those who are found to be behind this tragedy must not merely receive internal or administrative sanctions. They must face the full scale of justice.
The circumstances of the arrests of the victims and the condition in which they were detained must be established transparently. Victims and their families must be provided with access to justice and effective remedies.
The authorities must ensure justice for the victims of this horrific yet preventable incident which cost so many people, many believed to be children, their lives.
I think why I’m not buying a visitor should do chores conversation is that it mostly applies to babes. In many settings, the male friends doesn’t lift a finger but when a babe is around, there’s this inane feeling to make sure that she does chores. How dare she just sit and rest?
