Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago of Niger State has criticized the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) officials who managed the case of 37 illegal miners who tragically lost their lives. Bago described the handling of the situation as "unprofessional," highlighting the need for improvement in the conduct of the officers involved.
Speaking at a condolence visit by the state Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at the Government House, Bago emphasized that the deaths of the artisanal miners could have been prevented, attributing the lack of professionalism to the officials' actions. He vowed to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident and vowed to ensure that justice was served.
Bago also prayed for the families of the deceased miners and urged for continued peace and unity among the diverse ethnic and religious groups in the state. He called for religious leaders to use their influence to discourage parents from allowing their children to engage in artisanal mining, urging instead enrollment in schools, where education is free in the state.
