i can categorically accept your assertion you see in this country we all live a life of i dont care so let the suffering continue

The death of over 30 suspected illegal miners in the custody of the NSCDC is not merely an illegal-mining story; it is fundamentally a story about accountability, duty of care and the value of human life. Whatever offences these men may have been suspected of committing, once they were arrested and placed in state custody, the responsibility for their safety shifted to the authorities. Their deaths therefore demand more than an administrative suspension.
The suspension of the Niger State Commandant is a necessary step to facilitate an impartial investigation, but it must not become the end of accountability. The investigation should establish exactly what happened—from the moment of arrest, through transportation and detention, to the circumstances of their deaths. If negligence, overcrowding, denial of medical attention, abuse or any other unlawful conduct is established, individual responsibility should follow.
At the same time, the incident should not be used to undermine legitimate efforts to combat illegal mining. Nigeria needs firm enforcement of its mining laws, but enforcement must operate within the law and respect human dignity. A state that arrests people for an alleged crime cannot allow them to die in its custody without a clear and credible explanation.”
One particularly important point is that the cause of death has not yet been conclusively established. The Niger command initially referred to a suspected disease outbreak, but NSCDC headquarters cautioned that this had not been medically confirmed. That is why the promised forensic examinations and autopsies are important. �

Given your own NSCDC background, I would also distinguish institutional responsibility from individual guilt: the suspension does not by itself establish that the commandant personally caused the deaths. It creates room for an investigation without the officer remaining in operational command while the facts are being established.
