NIGERIAN BOY STOWS AWAY ON A PLANE FROM AFRICA FOUND GETTING OUT OF THE MAIN WHEEL

A young Nigerian boy who managed to breach the security of the Benin-City airport and stow away to Lagos has been arrested and turned over to the Federal Airports Authority, reports Vanguard.
The boy, who has not been identified, hopped out of the main wheel of the Arik Air aircraft when it landed at Murtala Muhammed Airport.

According to Arik Air, their pilot reported to the air-traffic control tower that he had spotted a young boy in the bush at the end of the runway, but was informed that security was taking care of the situation and he was cleared for take-off.

“We had the sign in Benin-City when the plane was leaving,” said one of the passenger’s on the flight. “As it was moving slowly, we heard a loud noise as if the tyre crushed somebody on the ground and we all started shouting ‘Jesus, Jesus’. It means the boy was already inside that tyre compartment before we left.
“When we landed at Lagos Airport, the boy came out from the mail wheel, everybody started shouting. But talking seriously, this shows that we have a serious problem  securing our airports.
“This is  security breach, the passenger continued. “If that boy was carrying bomb, he could have succeeded in blowing up the plane.”

There were reportedly Edo State government officials on the plane.
