Minna Miners’ Deaths: Why Are Different Standards of Accountability Being Applied?

85 died in Kaduna. 37 died in Nasarawa. 16 died in Zamfara. 37 died in Minna.

The first three were killed by federal military strikes. No governor was asked to resign. Neither was any service chief nor the commander of such unit responsible ask to step away…The last one involved deaths in federal NSCDC custody. Now they want the governor voted out. And over 24 officers have been suspended.Tudun Biri (Kaduna, December 2023): Army drone struck a religious gathering. At least 85 killed, Amnesty said closer to 120 . One man lost 34 relatives. Was Governor Uba Sani asked to resign? No. Neither was the CDS, COAS and other officers involved ask to be suspended so why is NSCDC case different???Rukubi (Nasarawa, January 2023): Air Force strike killed 37 civilians, mostly Fulani herders. The Air Force formally apologised and admitted it was “accidental and regrettable”. Was Governor Abdullahi Sule asked to step down? No. Neither was the CAS or officers involved as to be suspended by the FG Tungar Kara (Zamfara, January 2025): Air Force strike killed 16 vigilantes mistaken for bandits. Was Governor Dauda Lawal demanded to resign? No.Now Minna. 37 miners died in a federal NSCDC cell. The NSCDC is a federal agency. The government wants the heads of officers directly involved because we are a baby organization, this case will demoralized so many officers going forward. No one will be willing to put his neg on the line henceforth because why are NSCDC officers being victimized to the point of saying the police should investigate. What an insult what a disgrace. Even Civilians were constituted to investigate habah why is their different strategy, selective justice in this country??? No one is happy such occurrence occurred but why is their different strategy??? This task and mandate was duly assigned by the FGN to an agency they feel will perform this task without any fear or favors now the want to sacrifice the hi-goat in the words of Oshomole. Abeg free NSCDC officers held on this account.
