Nigerian Embassy In Spain Rescues Nigerian Children Seized For Adoption.


If not for the timely intervention of Nigerian embassy in Spain,a Nigerian couple would have lost their kids to surrogate parents in Spain. Three of the children were taken and separated from their parents about two years ago while the youngest, was taken from his mother immediately after delivery at the hospital.

According to the father of the siblings, Chris Osinachi, who lives in Murcia, Spain, the children had been in custody of Spanish authorities for quite a while. Narrating his story at Madrid Barajas International Airport, hours before they boarded flight to Nigeria, he explained that he had left home to search for job and his sick wife who was being taken to the hospital pleaded with their Spanish neighbors to help look after the kids pending her return. But unknown to the woman, the neighbors had another plan,

When Osinachi returned home, he was told that the kids had been handed over to the Spanish Social Security Workers. When he and his wife approached the social security agents, they were denied access to the children. The agent insisted that they would not be allowed custody of the kids until they showed proof that they could take care of the children. The proof included verifiable source of income, accommodation and others things.

The couples found it challenging to meet the conditions as the family survived on the income of Osinachi's wife. Whilst they were denied custody of their children, the couple had another baby on August 20, 2013. Immediately after the delivery at the hospital, the baby was also seized by the Spanish authorities. Whilst the couples were in dilemma, they got information that their kids were to be adopted,but God sent timely intervention in the person of a Nigerian Embassy staff, Deputy Consul, Nze Nnamdi .The kids were eventually handed over to their parents for  deportation to Nigeria. On October 3, 2013, the kids aged six, four, three, and a month old, with their parents and a female staff of the Nigerian embassy in Spain, were among passengers on board Iberia Airline flight 3336 from Madrid to Lagos.
