Twelve Christian migrants tossed overboard from a rubber dinghy by Nigerian Muslim migrants

#africanmigrants #MediterraneanSea #italy #rubberdinghy #palermo This is another case of religious divide that resulted in the death of 12 Christian migrants when they were tossed overboard in the Mediterranean Sea from a rubber dinghy by Nigerian Muslim migrants. The dinghy was transporting roughly 100 African refugees across the Mediterranean. It finally arrived in the port of Palermo in southern-Italy.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 18 April 2015.

It seems when it began to sink, a Nigerian Christian prayed for his life in an innocent act that finally ended in the death of 12 fellow Christian migrants. As per reports, one of the Muslims on board the rickety craft ordered the Christian to stop. He said that prayers can only be to Allah.
When the Christian refused to oblige, there was a violent fight and 12 Christians were thrown overboard by the Muslim refugees. The Italian police are believed to have arrested 15 people suspected of the killing including one person from the Ivory Coast.
This news has come after an unprecedented 10,000 refugees fleeing war and persecution in Africa have been rescued by Italian ships in the past week.
As revealed by the UN, a total of 23,500 migrants had sailed to Italy this year apart from another 12,000 who had sailed to Greece.
