Over the weekend, the bodies of 26 teenage Nigerians were discovered at the Mediterranean Sea by italian officials. More shocking is the fact that they were all females between 14 - 18 years of age.
Italian Police in the southern Italian port city of Salerno are investigating the cause of death as they fear that the women may have been sexually assaulted or tortured. Every year, hundreds of Africans including Nigerians attempt to cross the over to Europe via Libya, a journey of death.
