The stowaways were discovered at Milford Haven

Four men who secretly boarded a ship from Nigeria to Wales have been detained by immigration officials.

The Nigerian nationals, aged between 18 and 25, were discovered on board the ship at Milford Haven on 26 October after the captain raised the alarm.

The men, who had sailed from Lagos, were detained and interviewed by Border Force officers.

The Home Office is investigating whether they have a right to remain in the UK.
