I guess the Nigerian government is too weak to tackle Spain over the issue of a Nigerian illegal immigrant died while
being deported from Spain with a
restraining gag over his mouth, Spanish
media reported on Monday.
The Iberia jet flying 97 passengers to
Nigeria had to turn back to Spain and
land in Alicante on Saturday after crew
discovered that Osamuyia Aikpitanhi,
23, had died, newspaper El Pais said.
Police union sources told El Pais
Aikpitanhi may have died after
swallowing a gag taped over his mouth
to prevent him biting extradition
officers.
Spain, which received more immigrants
than any other European country in
2006, has stepped up deportations and
entry refusals to 23,000 so far this year.
The 23-year-old Aikpitanhi, who was
being deported with three other
Nigerians.
