A Ghanaian migrant has shared chilling details of being lost at sea for 6 days while attempting to travel from Libya to Italy illegally. According to him, their mode of transport was a boat on the Mediterranean Sea carrying over a hundred other migrants. He stated that the person in charge of handling the compass was inexperienced and misread it. "We also got lost because the person handling the compass was taught how to operate it in 2 days with no prior experience." They ended up on the shores of Malta instead of their intended destination, Italy. "Instead of heading north, we ended up heading south where we entered the territories of Malta. There was a point we got to where we had to raise our legs to avoid being attacked by some dangerous fishes in the sea," he said. He further revealed to Kofi TV in an interview that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the rescue teams that patrol the seas were unavailable. "When you set off from the shores of Libya, you are supposed to see the rescue team within 4 hours and be taken to Lampedusa but due to the COVID 19 pandemic, all the rescue teams and sea watch teams were unavailable." The boat, he said, carried people from different backgrounds and African countries, including pregnant women from Sudan and all wasn't peaceful. "We departed from the shores of Libya in three different batches, all of us in 3 boats.
