Some fleeing smugglers have killed 7 out of the 35 illegal African migrants they were taking to cross the Mediterranean sea for onward journey to Italy.
According to migration official, Adel Mostafa in Tripoli, 28 were rescued yesterday Sunday the 4th of June 2017 when an abandoned refrigerated truck was discovered at Garabulli, a town located east of Tripoli, which serves as a common take off point for migrants crossing the Mediterranean sea to Italy.
Mostafa said they got a call from civilians who reported that they were hearing voices coming from a truck which contained Africans.
The survivors said they were abandoned two days prior to their rescue by their smugglers who fled to the other side of the road after unknown gunmen fired bullets at the tyres.
The survivors are currently at a detention center in Tripoli.

I‘M SURE NAIJA people will never be lacking in the midst of these type of illegal travellers to Italy.
It‘s true that we shall all die at one point in time or the other. But I must point out here that some people died for stupid reasons. It‘s so sad.
I take a stroll…

They say that one stroke of a cain is sufficient for the wise but in spite of all the travails reported in the media some people appear not to believe there is great danger involved in these crossings. Moreover, they seem oblivious that even after landing safely, life abroad is no bed of roses!
It is very sad but we can only try to tell them and hope some would heed advice.
RIP to the dead
