Authorities of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) begins real trials of the suspended officers linked to the deaths of 37 alleged Niger miners.

InfoWars earlier reported that 21 NSCDC officers, including Commandant Suberu Aniviye were suspended following the unfortunate incident.

The Officers attached to the M.I. Wushishi and Lukoto areas of Niger State arrested several suspects during their anti-illegal mining operations on September 15th and 16th. Unfortunately, 37 of them died while in detention, the development that has since sparked outrage across the nation. The Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has formed a 10-member independent committee charged with unravelling the circumstances surrounding the deaths under two weeks.

The suspended officers were paraded at the NSCDC National Headquarters in Sauka, Abuja today.

Recall that NSCDC has earlier attributed the deaths to outbreak of strange illness, but this was found to be hasty conclusion. The committee is expected to determine the real cause of the death, the identities of the miners as well as the nature of their arrest and detention.
