Nigeria establishes panel on custody deaths
Nigeria lost 37 individuals inside a crowded detention cell operated by the Civil Defense Authority in the city of Mina after their arrest on charges of illegal mining. Their bodies were discovered after they suffered inhumane treatment, such as being sprayed with a substance that caused a burning sensation. The government has formed an independent investigation committee consisting of 10 members, including experts in security, medicine, and human rights, to look into the incident. They have a two-week deadline to identify those responsible for the deaths and to find solutions to allegations of neglect and collusion. This comes following President Tinubu's directive to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation to prevent such incidents in the future and to prevent the misuse of authority.
