一项针对尼日利亚明纳州（Minna state）拘留事件的调查报告指出，9月17日发生的33名被拘留者死亡案件是完全可预防的 1。法医和医学证据推翻了最初关于疾病爆发的说法，确认死者死于与长期拘禁相关的急性呼吸衰竭，并伴有热应激和脱水症状 1。这些受害者当时因涉嫌非法采矿而被尼日利亚安全与民防队（NSCDC）拘留 1。
调查揭示了极端恶劣的羁押条件：约50名被拘留者被关押在仅20平方米的牢房内，该空间缺乏自来水、正常运作的厕所以及充足的食物和饮水 1。严重拥挤、通风不良以及官员未能回应求救信号被认为是导致死亡的主要原因 1。调查团队负责人 Jonathan Kure 明确指出，这种拘留条件构成了残忍、不人道和有辱人格的待遇 1。
内政部长 Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo 表示涉事官员将面临法律制裁，并称报告将提交给联邦总检察长 1。此外，调查委员会建议向每位遇难者家属支付3000万奈拉（约合22,285美元）赔偿金，并向每位幸存者提供1000万奈拉赔偿 1。
An inquiry has concluded that the deaths of 33 detainees in Nigeria’s Minna state were entirely preventable, resulting from severe overcrowding, inadequate ventilation, and officials’ failure to respond to distress signals 1. The fatalities occurred on September 17, when the individuals were found dead while in custody by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for suspected illegal mining 1. Forensic and medical evidence determined that the victims died from acute respiratory failure exacerbated by heat stress and dehydration due to prolonged detention, overturning initial claims that a disease outbreak was responsible 1.
Investigative findings revealed that 50 detainees were confined in cells measuring approximately 20 square meters, lacking running water or functional toilets, with insufficient food and water supplies 1. Jonathan Kure, head of the investigation team, stated that the detention conditions amounted to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment 1. In response, Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo promised that the involved officers would face legal sanctions, noting that the report would be submitted to the Attorney General of the Federation 1. The committee recommended compensation payments of 30 million naira (approximately $22,285) to the families of each deceased victim and 10 million naira to each survivor 1.
