The coastal area of Aklou in the Tiznit region continues to grapple with the severe repercussions of illegal migration and human trafficking syndicates that have become alarmingly prevalent along this shoreline. Recently, the Atlantic Ocean tragically claimed the lives of three women from Sub-Saharan Africa, whose bodies were discovered on Tuesday in the area known as "Frekrek" under mysterious circumstances.
According to information obtained by Hespress from informed sources, these African women met their demise shortly after embarking on a migration boat from Aklou's shore, specifically from "Frekrek", as they attempted to reach the Spanish islands late Monday night through Tuesday morning. The data suggests that the women fell overboard due to a significant rush and a chaotic situation aboard the vessel as the organizers became aware of the imminent intervention by the Royal Gendarmerie in Tiznit, which had detained a Guinean organizer who was traveling in a vehicle transporting migrants also heading for the perilous illegal migration journey. The detained individual was reportedly found in possession of equipment intended for migration.
Furthermore, sources indicate that the boat encountered an unexpected malfunction shortly after setting sail just a few miles off the coast, prompting rescue services to intervene and transport the surviving migrants to the port of Agadir. Upon reaching the port, they assisted the gendarmes in identifying the detained Guinean organizer as the one responsible for orchestrating the migration operation that ultimately led to the tragic loss of three lives.
The prosecutor at the Agadir Court of Appeal has ordered an extension of the preventive custody for the suspect, who was presented before him by the judicial police of the Royal Gendarmerie in Tiznit. Following the second court session regarding his presentation, the prosecutor subsequently instructed that the individual be remanded in custody at the Ait Melloul prison.
In a related context concerning migration issues, the Aklou Coast Guard successfully thwarted another illegal migration attempt on Thursday in the Foum Oued area, seizing equipment used for these illicit activities. This area has also witnessed the stranding of a motorless rubber boat under circumstances that are currently under investigation by security authorities.
