BREAKING: Reports from Minna, Niger State, are raising serious concerns after 37 young men died while in the custody of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). According to the reports, 63 young men who were involved in gold mining activities were arrested over alleged illegal mining and detained.... A survivor reportedly claimed they were locked inside a small room, where they struggled to breathe and cried for help before some of them died. The exact cause of the deaths is yet to be established, and the Niger State Police Command has reportedly taken over the matter to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. This is deeply disturbing case that requires a transparent investigation and accountability for anyone found responsible. Communities across the North are already facing insecurity and economic hardship. When young people searching for a livelihood die while under state custody, it raises serious questions about the protection of citizens lives and the responsibility of security agencies. May Allah forgive those who lost their lives and grant their families strength. What message does this send to ordinary citizens when people seeking survival through lawful means are alleged to have died in the custody of the very institutions meant to protect them?show more

Families of the victims who died in NSCDC custody in Niger State have reportedly returned the ₦100,000 tokens said to have been given by the Niger State Government, saying they cannot accept what they consider “blood money” for their loved ones, whom they allege were killed while in detention by officials. The families are demanding accountability and justice rather than financial compensation.

$33 Suspected Illegal Miners Die in NSCDC Custody in Niger State How can 30 people or even a fraction of that number be locked inside a detention facility and allowed to die without immediate intervention? Was nobody watching them? Were there no guards conducting routine checks? When did they become critically ill, and why was medical assistance apparently not provided quickly enough? These are basic questions that the authorities must answer publicly. A claim of a suspected disease outbreak cannot by itself explain how detainees under state custody could die in such numbers. The authorities owe the families and the people of Niger State more than condolences and assurances. They owe them answers, evidence and accountability. The deaths must be independently and thoroughly investigated, including the condition of the detainees when they were arrested, what they ate or were exposed to, the detention conditions, the medical response and the exact timeline of events.$

I was able to access the detention centre where 37 young men died in NSCDC custody. The room was tiny, with barely any ventilation, and I could smell the bodies of those who had died. A survivor told me how they drank their own urine and sweat just to survive, and how officials ignored their cries for help. The government says investigations are ongoing to establish what happened.

We want to thank God for those great men and women who devoted themselves to the service of the nation and in the line of duty, lost their lives while others were maimed or became incapacitated. Some died in the course of battle, some died as a result of injuries sustained in the course of protecting the nation, and they left their loved ones behind. As an institution, the armed forces are very crucial and central to the survival of every nation, and I must admit, like every institution in Nigeria, things have not been well. As a government, we will continue to provide the necessary tools and enabling environment for the Armed Forces to effectively discharge their constitutional responsibilities of protecting the lives and property of citizens in the State. We will continue to honor our fallen heroes who sacrificed for our nation’s security.

The actions captured in this video from Oroki Estate, Òṣogbo, earlier today raise serious concerns about professionalism, respect for citizens’ rights, and due process. Ununiformed policemen were seen jumping through the fence of a private building to gain access, a practice many residents have described as unlawful and disturbing. We call on the Nigeria Police Force and relevant authorities to urgently investigate this incident and ensure that officers operate strictly within the confines of the law. Security agencies are meant to protect lives and properties, not create fear or violate the rights of innocent citizens. Accountability and adherence to due process must remain the standard at all times.

In the interest of national security and public trust, there is a need for the immediate suspension of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, to allow for a transparent and independent investigation into the serious allegations being raised. Nigeria cannot afford any shadow of doubt when it comes to the fight against terrorism. Accountability, due process, and openness are essential to restoring confidence in our security institutions. No individual is above scrutiny when the safety of our citizens is at stake. #NationalSecurity #Accountability

The death of young Nihal at St. Louis Secondary School, Kano, is deeply disturbing and raises serious questions that must not be ignored. According to the account given by her family, the school claimed that Nihal was punished for allegedly being late to prayer and was made to kneel down. It is further alleged that she was left unattended for hours before she was eventually found dead. Even more troubling are reports that family members who rushed to the school after receiving the devastating news were denied access to where their daughter was. We are calling on the Kano State Government, relevant education authorities, and all security agencies to immediately launch a thorough, transparent, and independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Nihal's death. Her family deserves answers. The public deserves the truth. Most importantly, Nihal deserves justice. Until a full investigation is conducted and all the facts are established, we believe it is necessary for the school to be temporarily closed to ensure that evidence is preserved and that there is no interference with the investigative process. No parent should send a child to school and receive news of their death under unclear circumstances. We stand with Nihal's family in their quest for justice and accountability. Justice for Nihal.

Warning! Highly Sensitive video Corp Member Found Dead in Nembe, Bayelsa State; Police, NYSC Urged to Investigate A young Nigerian graduate and serving NYSC member, Okebaram Stanley Chimaoke, has reportedly been found dead in Nembe, Bayelsa State, under circumstances that remain unclear. Stanley, a former SUG President of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo State, was serving in Bayelsa when he reportedly went missing on Friday night after leaving his residence to get food from a local restaurant. According to accounts from his colleagues, he never returned. His body was reportedly discovered in a river around the Nembe waterside on Sunday afternoon with parts of his body allegedly eaten by crabs. What is particularly disturbing is that the actual cause of Stanley’s death remains unknown. There are concerns that no clear explanation has yet been provided about what happened between the time he went missing and when his body was found. There are also reports that the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) reached out to the state and local police authorities over the matter, but the circumstances surrounding his death reportedly remain unresolved as no actual investigation is ongoing. Stanley was in 2023 Civil Engineering set. A young man who graduated, served as a student leader and proceeded to serve his country through the NYSC should not have his death treated as a mystery that nobody is willing to investigate. The Nigeria Police Force, Bayelsa State Police Command and NYSC must urgently investigate this case. ⁠Nigeria Police Force @BayelsaPolice NYSC NDHQ Stanley’s family, friends and colleagues deserve answers. His disappearance, the circumstances surrounding the discovery of his body and the actual cause of his death must be properly investigated. This is very very sad to say the least! How did someone who went to get food end up in a river?

There are reports of disturbing activities at Nandini’s production facility in Mandya, with allegations that adulteration is taking place, raising serious concerns about food safety and consumer trust. How can consumers continue to trust a brand they depend on every day? How many more lives must be put at risk in the pursuit of greed and profit? Hon. DK Suresh , what action are you taking? When the possibility of a Nandini–Amul merger was discussed, those who claimed to stand up for Karnataka and posted “Our Nandini Our Pride” in the name of protecting the language and state interests were very vocal. Where are they now? Kannada activists, is your fight against the BJP, or is it simply to support the Congress? If the cause is truly about Karnataka and Nandini, why is there silence when serious concerns are being raised? The people of Karnataka deserve transparency, accountability, and safe food not silence when serious questions demand answers. VC: Vijayatimes #SaveNandini #Nandini #FoodSafety #KMF #Mandya
