PUBLIC STATEMENT BY DEJI ADEYANJU ON INCLUSION INTO INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE DEATH OF MINNA MINERS Following the decision of the Government to constitute a committee to investigate the deaths of the alleged gold miners in Minna, Niger State, I have been invited to serve on the committee, with a view to ensuring that the interests of the victims are adequately represented. I have accepted this responsibility and thank the Government for considering me worthy to serve. I am joining the committee solely to protect the interests of the victims and ensure that the truth is established. I urge the Government not to make any monetary provision, stipend or honorarium for members of the committee, as this is a national duty for which we should be prepared to sacrifice. I will not accept any such payment, and I will not participate in or tolerate any attempt to compromise the investigation or cover up wrongdoing. I undertake to take care of my hotel, transportation and other expenses myself. If there is any attempt to shield those responsible or suppress the truth, I will expose it. The victims deserve justice, and the Nigerian factor as we know it must not be allowed to prevail.   DEJI ADEYANJU ESQ.
