An eight-year-old boy has been smuggled
into Spain from Morocco inside a suitcase,
Spanish police say.

The boy, Abou, was found inside the case being
carried by a 19-year-old woman into Ceuta, a
Spanish enclave next to Morocco, on Thursday.
When police opened the case, they found the
boy in a "terrible state", a spokesman for the
Guardia Civil told AFP.
The boy, from Ivory Coast, is now in the care
of authorities in Ceuta.
The Spanish newspaper El Pais reported (in
Spanish) that the 19-year-old is not related
to the boy, and was paid by his father to carry
the suitcase.
The boy's father lives in the Canary Islands and
had hoped to be reunited with his son, El Pais
said.
The Spanish news agency Efe said the boy's
father, also named Abou, had travelled back to
Ivory Coast to pick him up, having moved to
Gran Canaria in 2013.
The father then reportedly paid the Moroccan
courier to carry the suitcase. A police
spokesman told Efe: "She seemed to hesitate,
and it looked as though she didn't want to
come through the border.
