JNI and Arewa Think Tank Demand Credible Probe into Miners' Deaths
The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) and the Arewa Think Tank have urged for due process and credibility in the investigation concerning the deaths of 37 miners who died while in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Niger State. JNI, represented by its Secretary-General, Professor Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, expressed deep concern over the rising insecurity in Nigeria, particularly condemning the killings, abductions, and banditry.
The organization welcomed the Federal Government's decision to initiate an independent investigation and suspend the involved officers, demanding a thorough and transparent inquiry. They highlighted the distressing nature of the incident, especially considering that some detainees may have been young individuals.
The JNI also called for improved security measures and urged Muslims to pray for peace. The Arewa Think Tank echoed the call for a responsible investigation based on evidence rather than assumptions.
