Two Cameroonians threw 10 Nigerians including a
pastor into the sea after accusing them of being
the cause of the bad weather condition.
10 Nigerian Christians immigrating to Spain by
ship where thrown into the water where they
drowned to death because they were praying.
According to Sky News , Spanish police has
arrested two Cameroonians in connection to the
death of the Nigerians.
The Cameroonians reportedly threw overboard a
Nigerian pastor and others who had joined him to
pray when the travellers who were traveling in a
boat experienced bad weather mid-sea, blaming
them for the worsening weather conditions.
According to Sky News after hitting bad weather, a
Nigerian pastor was said to have started praying
for the ship not to sink. The Nigerian pastor along
with 9 other Nigerians who joined him in prayer
was accused by Cameroonian men of causing the
bad weather.
The Nigerians were then pushed overboard the
inflatable boat they were traveling with.
The suspects were arrested by the Spanish police
who got a wind of what happened in the boat.
About 50 migrants departed from northern
Morocco on Wednesday December 3, in an
inflatable boat without a motor. They were hoping
to make the nine-mile journey across the Strait of
Gibraltar to Spain.
The boat was found adrift off the coast of Almeria,
southern Spain, two days later by Spanish coast
guard officials. There were 29 survivors, including
a three-year-old child. The rest of the passengers
who did not survive " perished due to the rough
conditions of these types of voyages," police said
