Quest to Trace for Names in Deadly Migrant Shipwreck Results to More Dead

The hunt for identities of all the victims of the Mediterranean’s deadliest migrant shipwreck has instead revealed that the sinking was far deadlier than anyone knew. One of the two investigators on the project, tracing families and survivors in Africa, has confirmed that the boat that sank on April 18, 2015 carried not 800 migrants as previously believed, but as many as 1,100.

That up to 300 people could vanish reflects the hidden toll of migration. At a time when global migration is at a record high, The Associated Press has found in an exclusive tally that at least 62,284 migrants have died or disappeared worldwide since 2014. That’s more than double the only official attempt at a toll, by the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration.

The discovery also makes it even harder for the investigators to keep Italy’s promise to name all the dead, especially at a time when Europe has turned against migrants. After the boat sank, then-Prime Minister Matteo Renzi committed Italy to giving the migrants from the April 2015 shipwreck their identities back.

17-year-old Boy Goes Missing on Resumption Day at Enugu Varsity

Chiedozie Azuike, a 17-year-old undergraduate, has gone missing. It was gathered that Chiedozi, who just gained admission into a private university in Enugu, went missing on the day he was to resume in the school.

It was also gathered that Chiedozie’s former teacher, whom his mother had implored to take him to the university, got to their house on December 4 but did not meet him at home. However, Chiedozie’s mother, Maureen Azuike, who noted that some strange things had been happening before his disappearance, said she believed that her son was hypnotised.

She added that Chiedozie left the money she gave him and his school documents at home, which gave her the impression that he did not go to school. Maureen said, “After paying the necessary fees, I begged his former lesson teacher to help me take him to the school since I was busy.
