A 36-year-old Nigerian woman was given a six month term suspended to two years after she pleaded guilty to escaping Malta last year using a false passport.

Mother of three Rashida Ommo Aluka was accused of using a false passport to flee Malta to Sweden.

She was caught in Oslo, eight months after she arrived there.

The woman is being kept at the Good Shepherd Convent in Balzan because of her children, the youngest being just three months old. It was not clear if the children had travelled with her.
