Now trending. The three migrants were found when the Alithini II docked in Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria in Spain on Monday evening.
A photo shared on social media by the Spanish coastguard shows the three Nigerians sitting on the rudder of the oil tanker’s stern, their feet just above the waterline.
The three had symptoms of hypothermia and received hospital care before being returned to the ship.
Spanish officials had said that the ship’s operator had the legal responsibility to take them back to Nigeria since they were stowaway.
