Miners’ Death: Niger Lifts Curfew Imposed after Minna Unrest

Following the unrest that erupted in Minna following the deaths of 37 suspected illegal miners in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), a curfew was imposed on the city. According to Premium Times, this curfew has now been lifted. The exact reason for the lifting of the curfew is not yet clear, but it is believed that the situation in Minna has stabilized. This development comes as a relief to residents who have been affected by the unrest and the subsequent curfew. It remains to be seen if any further measures will be taken to address the underlying issues that led to the deaths of the miners and the ensuing unrest.
