Spanish-Based Nigerian woman, Mrs Omozele Osaghale, has called on Nigerian government to assist in ensuring that the judgment of Spanish Supreme Court, which nullified the unlawful adoption of her daughter, is enforced.
She pleaded with the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission to intervene in reintegrating her biological daughter, having complained to Nigerian Embassy in Spain without result.Oseghale claimed that a Spanish couple illegally adopted her daughter in 2012. She averred that she had approached the government of Navarra, Spain during pregnancy for financial support since she had no visible source of income.
Rather, she was told that the effort was to take care of the baby, while she recovered from the caesarian section. She explained that few days later, she was invited to the social welfare unit of Txanrea unit, Pamplona and later to the municipal service where she was meant to sign some documents in Spanish language.When she later realized the implications of the documents she signed, she approached the court and got judgment in her favour in 2016. Yet, the couple declined to obey court order.
The court consequently ruled that the biological mother should be allowed to visit the child regularly to enable the child get used to her before she finally return to her.
