Nigeria protests over detainee deaths
The city of Mina in central Nigeria experienced widespread protests after the discovery of the death of 37 individuals who were being held by a paramilitary force, following raids targeting illegal gold mines in the area. A security source explained that the detainees died during their detention, although the exact causes of their deaths remain unclear and are under investigation. It was initially believed that illness had caused their deaths before a full medical investigation was announced. In response, the Minister of Interior ordered the suspension of the provincial commander's duties until the investigation is completed. The killing of the detainees enraged the local population, leading to protests that ranged from chants demanding justice to acts of damage against vehicles.
