Minna37 arrested mining suspects died in one Nigerian detention cell.

It raises accountability questions about warrantless detentions of poor artisanal miners nationwide.

Guards packed up to 65 men into one unventilated cell and sprayed a substance officers called mosquito repellent before the deaths.

“They replied that we should all just die,” said Adamu Isah, a survivor.

A 10-member committee has two weeks to identify the dead and confirm what killed them.
