Activist politician Aisha Yesufu has questioned the
circumstances surrounding the deaths of about 40 suspected illegal miners in
the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Niger
State.
Yesufu raised the concern in a post on her official social
media page while reacting to the incident.
She questioned how people arrested for mining died while in
government custody.
“How did you arrest young people mining and almost 40 die in
your custody? How?!” Yesufu wrote.
Yesufu also said accounts from survivors had raised
questions about whether the deaths were accidental.
She added, “From what survivors are recounting, it is not
looking accidental!”
The activist criticised the government’s handling of
citizens in custody, stating: “Nigeria is the one that radicalizes its citizens
against itself!”
