Another teenager has been arrested by the security operatives of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), on Sunday. The teenager was described as a trespasser who was making his way into Allied
Air cargo aircraft,at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.
The incident of the stowaway boy, Daniel Ohikhena can recalled who flew from Benin to Lagos in the belly of the wheel of an Arik aircraft, in the same vein recently a teenager was said to have been spotted by the airside staff of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCo) who were handling the aircraft in preparation for a flight.
The motive behind the teenager trying to board the flight has not yet been confirmed, as a result the aircraft was not scheduled to leave yesterday to any destination.
Furthermore, reacting to the incident, the General Manager, Corporate Communications of FAAN, Yakubu Dati, warned the public that the authority would henceforth apply strict sanctions against anyone caught on the airside or within the restricted areas of our airports without proper authorisation.
"The safety and security of the airport environment falls under purview of FAAN so the authority will no longer allow unscrupulous elements to commit security breach at our airports thereby diminishing the giant strides made by the federal government in transforming the country's aviation industry, the dividends of which are evident at all our airports," Dati said.
He pointed out that since the previous incident of the stowaway boy Daniel Ohikhena, FAAN security personnel had apprehended a few "copycats" trying to replicate the incident.
.....I don't actually think they are copying Daniel,they just seeking some attention,scholarship and maybe get a handshake from the president,or what do you think?
