“These Nigerians were arrested during an operation against alleged illegal mining and detained by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, an agency supervised by the Ministry of Interior. Survivors have alleged that they were crammed into an overcrowded, poorly ventilated cell where they struggled to breathe.
“That allegation demands an immediate and independent criminal investigation. It cannot be resolved through an internal inquiry in which government officials investigate government agents and present government-approved conclusions to Nigerians.
“Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has direct and unavoidable questions to answer. He supervises the agency in whose custody these Nigerians allegedly died. He cannot claim credit for the NSCDC’s achievements and then outsource responsibility when 37 people die in its custody.
“Dele Alake must equally account for the enforcement operations surrounding the sector he supervises. Instead of confronting this catastrophe with the gravity it demands, he remained conspicuously silent while occupying himself with political propaganda. When 37 Nigerians die following an operation connected to your sector, silence is not neutrality; it is an abdication of responsibility.
