Nigeria: Families demand justice for 37 men who died in custody

Families of the victims are demanding justice after 37 men died in a Nigerian paramilitary civil defence force holding cell. This incident highlights concerns about human rights and the treatment of detainees in the country. The government's decision to appoint an independent panel to investigate the deaths is a step towards addressing these concerns, but it remains to be seen whether it will lead to meaningful change and accountability. The outcome of this investigation will likely have implications for Nigeria's human rights record and its reputation internationally.
