Outrage as 37 arrested miners suffocate to death in NSCDC custody, FG suspends commandant.
Why were they arrested if they can not protect them. They only arrested them to kill them as they suffocated in the cell that they were.
37 suspected illegal miners have died in NSCDC custody in Niger State, prompting the Federal Government to suspend the state commandant and order a full investigation into the shocking incident.
The Federal Government suspended Niger State NSCDC Commandant Suberu Siyaka Aniviye pending the outcome of investigations.
According to some news, they cried for help before they died but they were not helped. I do not know if this part is true.
I came across this news on Facebook yesterday and saw the lifeless bodies of those children being displayed in the open, I think there's more to the death and a proper investigation needs to be carried out to ascertain what really happened to those young gold miners and from the interview from one of the boys that was not arrested he narrated how they were not mining illegally and there are people who owns those places.
Why on earth will the NSCDC arrest such a large number of people without providing a proper confined room that has ventilation for them and I believe those children must have lamented to them about the inadequate air in the room and they ignored it because the lives of the people don't mean anything to them. I feel so heartbroken for the lives that was lost, I just hope this children gets the justice they deserve.
