Nigerian forces fire at protesters rallying over deaths of detained miners

Security forces in Nigeria opened fire and deployed tear gas during protests in Minna, Niger State, over the deaths of 37 miners in custody. A 24-hour curfew has been imposed by Governor Umar Bago, while the government has promised to investigate the deaths. The miners were arrested on suspicion of illegal mining, and witnesses claim that some suffocated due to overcrowding in the cells.
