00:00Karm has returned to the central Nigerian city of Minna after violent protests over the deaths last week of 37
00:07men being held in custody.
00:10Now an investigation into the deaths is underway.
00:17What we want to see at the end of the investigation is to know who gave the orders that led
00:22to these deaths.
00:25Because we were grievously wronged, we were denied justice.
00:32We want the government to thoroughly investigate the deaths and give justice to our children.
00:39The victims were arrested on suspicion of illegal gold mining and crammed into a poorly ventilated cell.
00:47Survivors say their cries for help were ignored.
00:50The government has appointed a 10-person panel to investigate the deaths.
00:55The government is supposed to give us justice.
00:59If it doesn't take decisive action, we'll continue the protest.
01:04They should be ready to continue killing us.
01:06They should kill us all, along with our parents.
01:10President Bola Tanumbu has ordered an urgent, full and transparent investigation.
01:16He said he wouldn't tolerate deaths caused by official negligence, abuse or dereliction of duty.
01:22The appointed panel has two weeks to investigate and submit its report.
