At around 10:10 p.m. this Monday, the mooring crews at the port of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria discovered that under the stern of the MSC Marta, a huge container ship from Togo bound for Italy, there were two men lying on the rudder blade, a scant meter of water. They were under a huge ship, 275 meters long, but in a hole so small that they could not sit up or sit up, only lie down. A police spokesman confirmed that they are two young Nigerians, aged 18 and 22, who were transferred to the Doctor Negrín hospital the night before last for a medical examination.
The two assure that they slipped into the rudder hole in Lagos (Nigeria) and have already been returned to the captain of the MSC Marta, with the expectation that the regulations of return to Nigeria will be applied to them. In November 2022, three Nigerians of legal age arrived in Spain on the rudder blade of an oil tanker: the news went around the world.
