Several African athletes escaped from the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, mostly from Cameroon. According to New Zealand Herald, the athletes have turned up in Sydney inquiring legal advice on how to stay in Australia. Athletes from Uganda and even officials from Rwanda also made the escape leaving behind their team mates to return to their respective countries after the end of the games. The escaped ones are now reportedly consulting with the Refugee Advice and Casework Service in Randwick to make their stay in Australia permanent. The visa awarded is said to be expiring on Tuesday after which, if found, they will be detained and deported unless they have applications for another in progress.Photo Credit: Getty
