The Spanish coastguard has rescued three migrants stowed away on a ship that arrived in the Canary Islands from Nigeria.
The authorities confirmed that the migrants were taken into the port and attended to by health services.
A photograph showing the trio was distributed on Twitter by the coastguard on Monday, November 28, 2022.
They are seen sitting on the rudder of the oil and chemical tanker Althini II.
The vessel arrived in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria after an 11-day trip from Lagos, according to Marine Traffic.
The authorities confirmed that the migrants were taken into the port and attended to by health services.

The names and identities of the Nigerians are yet to be revealed.
The Nigerian government is also yet to address this event.
