ABUJA: The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC on Sunday paraded its suspended Niger State Commandant, Suberu Aniviye, and other officers linked to the deaths of 37 suspected illegal miners who died in the Corps’ custody.

The officers were paraded at the NSCDC National Headquarters in Sauka, Abuja, on Sunday, by the Corps’ National Public Relations Officer, Assistant Commandant Babawale Afolabi.

The 37 detainees died on Thursday, days after they were arrested during anti-illegal mining operations conducted by the NSCDC in the M.I. Wushishi and Lukoto areas of Niger State on September 15 and 16.

The NSCDC had initially attributed the deaths to a suspected disease outbreak, saying the actual cause of death would be established through medical examination.
