State police on Tuesday detained
five suspected migrant traffickers who arrived along with
several hundred rescued asylum seekers in Sicily yesterday.
The suspects were named as George Olanayo from Nigeria,
Babou and Djibril Diouf from Senegal, Boubakri Hosni from
Tunisia and Mobarak Boshra Azhari from Sudan.
Other migrants identified them as being the skippers who
manned the vessels that left from Libya.
They face charges of abetting illegal immigration.
