Listening to and watching @adeyanjudeji on @channelstv giving an update on the deaths of miners in Niger is both disturbing and crucial. Including Deji and his acceptance onto the committee to investigate this horrendous incident has given Nigerians the opportunity to be part of the investigation. 14 minors between the ages of 9 and 15 dying is unconscionable. People were crammed into a tiny cell with no adequate ventilation; detainees drank their urine and had to climb on each other to put their noses and mouths through the tiny opening for air. The NSCDC officials’ insistence on not opening the cell despite knowing people were dying, and the deliberate tampering with evidence by cleaning the cell, all point to a systemic problem in Nigeria. The NSCDC’s false claim of a disease outbreak as the cause of death is also shocking. We owe @adeyanjudeji thanks for his service on this committee. Now, we must put pressure to ensure the committee’s recommendations are fully implemented.
