An Ivorian boy of 8 years old was found in a suitcase by Policemen.
A woman aged 19 took the case through a pedestrian crossing from Morocco into the small Spanish-governed territory of Ceuta on Thursday, a spokesman for the Civil Guard police force said.
“When they put the suitcase through the scanner, the operator noticed something strange, which seemed to be a person inside the case,” he told AFP.
“When it was opened they found a minor, in a terrible state.”
The boy said he was eight years old and from Ivory Coast, according to the spokesman.
The Civil Guard arrested the woman, who was due to go before a judge.
They also arrested the boy’s father when he tried to cross the border a few hours later. The father is Ivorian and lives in Spain’s Canary Islands.
