尼日利亚米纳市一拘留中心发生大规模死亡事件，33名被羁押的非法采矿者在极度拥挤、高温缺水的监狱牢房内身亡，另有4人随后在医院去世1。这些被羁押者在上周二和周三被逮捕1。
该监狱牢房面积仅约6米×3米，却关押了50多名囚犯1。牢房内湿度超过90%，室外温度在25°C以上1，牢房仅有一扇小窗户提供通风1。幸存者乌斯曼·穆罕默德表示："我从未感受过那样的热度"1。
尼日利亚安全与民防队24名人员已被羁押，包括被停职的州指挥官苏贝鲁·阿尼维耶1。内政部长奥卢邦米·图尼-奥乔表示："无论什么级别的官员都不会受保护"1。政府已成立10人委员会，有两周时间查明死因和责任人1。
A detention facility in Minna, Niger State capital, has become the site of a mass casualty incident in which 33 detainees died under extreme conditions of overcrowding, heat, and water deprivation 1. The victims were among more than 50 people held in a cell measuring approximately 6 meters by 3 meters 1. Four additional detainees later died at a hospital 1. The detainees had been arrested on consecutive days the previous week for involvement in illegal mining operations 1.
The conditions in the cell were lethal: humidity exceeded 90 percent while outdoor temperatures remained above 25 degrees Celsius, and the facility had only a single small window for ventilation 1. A survivor, Uthman Muhammad, described the ordeal in stark terms, stating "I have never felt heat like that" 1. The deaths have triggered public outcry and prompted government action. Twenty-four personnel from Nigeria's State Security Service and Civil Defence Corps have been detained in connection with the incident, including the suspended state commander, Suberu Aniweye 1.
The government has responded by establishing a ten-member investigative committee tasked with determining the cause of death and identifying those responsible within a two-week timeframe 1. Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo issued a statement making clear that "no matter what level an official is, they will not be protected," signaling zero tolerance for negligence or misconduct in the case 1.
