Three Nigerians desperate to reach Europe by all means hid in a Europe-bound ship that departed Lagos port. But the Nigerians had their plans scuttled when they were discovered on board the ship at Ghana’s port of Tema.
The Ghana News Agency, said the unidentified Nigerians boarded the ship separately, all united in the mission to seek greener pastures in Europe.
“It was not our first time, trying to sail to Europe illegally. We have made it before, but were deported home.”
“The stowaways Nigerians will be repatriated to Nigeria”, Joseph Punamane, The Port Security Manager.
He advised the stowaways to discontinue embarking on such illegal voyages, citing many instances where failed attempts have led to extreme injuries and sometimes deaths.
“I think some of them are just desperate even though they know they will die,” he said.
