Dozens of suspected illegal miners have died while in the custody of Nigerian authorities, the BBC reported.

According to the report, Nigerian officials have linked the deaths to disease. However, this explanation has been disputed by intelligence reports as well as by relatives of those who died.

The BBC report did not specify the exact number of deaths, the location of the detentions, or further details on the circumstances surrounding the custody of the suspects.

It remains unclear what specific illegal mining activity the detainees were suspected of, or when the deaths occurred. The BBC did not name the authorities involved or provide additional comment from Nigerian officials, intelligence sources, or families of the deceased beyond noting the dispute over the cause of death.

This is a developing story and further details have not yet been made public.
