Nigerian Boy Holds Airplane Tyre Frombenin To Lagos By Hiding Inside The Hole. by taif(f): 11:25am On Aug 25, 2013 |
teenager named Daniel Ikehina unbelievably beat airline and airport security at the Benin airport today Saturday August 24th and sneaked into the tyre compartment of a Lagos- boundArik flight. The boy flew safely with the aircraft which left Benin around 9am today and landed at Murtala Muhammed airport, hidden throughout in the undercarriage. He was immediately arrested by airportsecurity after passengers saw him emerging from the aircraft tyre hole. Arik spokesman Banji Ola explains what happened: The management of Arik Air has expressed shock over the incident wondering how the teenager beat the Aviation Security personnel at the Benin Airport to get to the runway. The pilot of Arik Airflight W3 544, departing Benin Airport for Lagos at 9.00am today 24th August, 2013 reported to the control tower the presence of a strange boy in the bush about 200 – 300 meters at the end of runway 23. The control tower told the Captain that they were sending security men to the place toarrest the boy. As the captain was making his final turn, preparatory for take-off, a cabin crew called his attention to theinformation by some of the passengers that they saw a boy running towards the airplane. The First Officer confirmed that they had observed it earlier and alerted the control tower which responded that they have sent the patrol team to arrest the boy. TheCaptain again reported to the control tower and was informed that the situation was under control and that he had been cleared for take- off. On arrival at the domestic wing of MMA, Lagos, a teenage boy, who apparently had sneaked into the aircraft main wheelwell jumped out and was arrested by Arik personnel and handed over to FAAN security.Meanwhile the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) blamed Arik Air for the incident. FAAN said in a statement: "Arik Air acted withimpunity by not stopping the aircraft to check when the crew and ground personnel’s attention was drawn to an abnormality on thetarmac. This is arrant display of impunity. The aircraft should not have taxied further, but return to the apron until aproper check is carried out on all parts of the aircraft. FAAN will not tolerate such impunity henceforth from Arik or any airline. Any violation would be met withapplicable sanctions. |
