Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju says he will oppose any attempt to hide wrongdoing in the investigation into the deaths of 37 suspected illegal miners held by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in Niger State. Adeyanju is a member of the Federal Government’s 10-member independent committee set up after public outrage over the deaths. He said his role is to represent the victims and ensure the facts are not suppressed. The committee, which includes lawyers, security experts and civil society representatives, is expected to examine the circumstances of the detention and deaths before submitting its recommendations. Families and rights advocates are demanding accountability and justice.
