At least 33 to 37 miners died while in the custody of security forces in Niger State, Nigeria, triggering widespread public unrest 123.

Nigerian security forces responded to ensuing protests with tear gas and live ammunition, escalating tensions in the region 13.
The deaths occurred on September 15 and 16 during detention in Minna, Niger State's capital 3. Authorities initially attributed the fatalities to disease outbreak, but intelligence reports pointed to severe overcrowding and insufficient ventilation as primary causes 3. One survivor, Dauda Shehu, described the harrowing conditions, stating: "We were squeezed in the cell with no ventilation to breathe. We even pleaded with them multiple times, knocked on the door, but they refused to listen to us" 3. Over 60 detainees were confined in a single cell 2. The bodies were buried according to Islamic tradition on Thursday without undergoing forensic examination 3.
