CAN CONDEMN TRAGIC DEATH OF 37 YOUNG ARTISANAL MINERS IN NSCDC CUSTODY
With a deep sense of pain we condemn the wanton and sudden death of 37 young Artisanal miners who were in the custody of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).
This is totally an unacceptable situation. The incident is tragic and we call on the government to set up committees of inquiry to ascertain what actually happened that led to their death.
On behalf of the Executive Council, I extend the deepest condolences of the entire Christendom to our Farmer Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago and the people, especially the relatives of the victims of this highly tragic incident.
Let me also call on relatives and residents to remain calm and law abiding so that the relevant bodies can unravel the cause of what has bedevilled us.
We pray the Almighty God to grant the departed souls eternal rest. Amen.
