Osamyia Aikpitanhi, a 23 year old from Nigeria died on the 09/06/2007 when he was deported back to Nigeria from Spain (1). The Iberia flight took off from Madrid but made an emergency lading in Alicante when the police officers discovered he was dead.

Osamyia’s family accused the two police officers from La Policia Nacional who escorted Osamyia of beating him up, with three accomplices. According to el Pais, the possible cause of death was from swelling after the police officers put a bandage inside Osamyia's mouth, allegedly to stop him biting. (2)
