FG to support families of 37 NSCDC victims with N250m

The Federal Government will provide N250 million to support the families of the 37 people who died while in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Niger State. Vice President Kasim Shettima disclosed this on Monday during a condolence visit to the Niger State Government and people of the State over the incident. Shettima described the deaths as unfortunate, saying the Federal Government shared the pain of the bereaved families and remained committed to protecting every citizen regardless of circumstance. He said the death of the 37 young men in NSCDC custody was a matter of national concern that required justice, accountability and answers for the affected families. “A citizen deprived of liberty remains entitled to the protection of the state. No allegation, however great, diminishes that entitlement. “No uniform compels immunity from accountability. We owe justice to every soul lost, answers to every bereaved family, and due process to every person under investigation,” he said. The Vice President also commended Niger State Governor Umaru Bago for his efforts to seek justice for the victims, while cautioning against politicising the tragedy. He urged citizens to avoid using the incident to demonise the governor, stressing the need for fairness and solidarity during the period of mourning. Responding, Umaru Bago, Governor of Niger State, thanked the Vice President for the visit, describing it as a demonstration of federal solidarity with the state and the families of the deceased. Bago said the State Government’s demand for justice was not motivated by vengeance but by its responsibility to ensure that citizens did not lose their lives in the hands of those entrusted with their protection. He said the State Government was cooperating fully with the investigative team constituted by the Federal Government, stressing that the people of Niger State deserved answers while the bereaved families deserved justice. The governor also called for stronger federal support for efforts to regulate mining and protect national assets, while urging investment in safe, legal and dignified economic opportunities for young Nigerians. Earlier, Emmanuel Umar, Principal Private Secretary to the governor, thanked the Vice President for the visit, saying his presence sent a strong message of solidarity to the bereaved families and people of Niger State. He said the Federal Government’s intervention had renewed the hope of the affected families that their welfare and quest for justice were receiving attention.
