Albinos risk persecution in Nigeria? Since when?

By -
Worthy to note is that the family who claim this,is trying to seek asylum in Italy. According to the parents of the little girl who were living in troubled Libya but left because of the violence that broke out, they know they can not return to their native Imo State because of their daughter - Jasmine's condition. 'Her hair is blonde, her eyes are blue and her skin is noticeably fairer than her brother’s. They claim they risk persecution in Nigeria if they return here with her. Are Albinos in danger in Nigeria? Maybe there's something I don't know...

In the village where her 24-year-old mother Shalom grew up in southeast Nigeria, girls like Jasmine are seen as bearers of bad luck, according to a reporter who spoke to the family. 

They are frequently attacked and sometimes even killed. In many parts of Africa, their body parts are sold to witch doctors and used in rituals.' According to Jasmine's mother, 'We can’t go back there because we’re scared she might be kidnapped. jasmine’s never met my mother, my sisters or my brothers, but they understand we can’t return.' The family now hopes to claim asylum in Italy.

Alvaro Morata has arrived for medicals at Chelsea and is expected to wear the No.9 shirt after completing his move to Chelsea. The striker arrived in London today to complete his £70m switch to Stamford Bridge. Antonio Conte has been after a striker all summer after telling Diego Costa he had no future at the club. The No.9 shirt has been vacant since Radamel Falcao left the club. Alvaro Morata is in line to make his Chelsea debut next Tuesday as the Blues take on Bayern Munich in Singapore, due to visa complications preventing him playing against Arsenal this weekend. The Premier League champions take on the Gunners in Beijing on Saturday, but it is too late for the club to apply for a visa for Morata after finally agreeing a deal for the Spain international yesterday. He is expected to put pen to paper on a five  year deal worth around £150,000 a week.
