The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has condemned the reported death of 37 Nigerians in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Minna, Niger State. The APM has demanded an expeditious, open, and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The 37 suspects, who were arrested during separate operations on September 15 and 16, allegedly died while in NSCDC custody due to inhumane conditions and possibly the use of unidentified substances.
The APM also criticized the use of ammunition and tear gas by security agencies against protesters following the deaths, warning that such actions could result in further fatalities.
