The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, visits Niger State and promises a thorough police investigation into the deaths of 37 suspected miners. Both outlets report that the IGP’s visit follows public attention around the deaths, which are said to have occurred while the suspects were in custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
During the trip, Disu leads a police delegation and meets Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago at the Government House in Minna. The accounts describe Disu as giving assurances of a full, thorough investigation, including work by police into the circumstances of the deaths. The reports focus on the police response and engagement with state leadership rather than offering new investigative findings or details about the incident itself.
