Wonders In Benin Airport As a Boy Rides on the Tyre-holder Compactment on Arik Aircraft and Survived

Wonders would never end. It happened again in Benin City Airport. When it happened before in Port Harcourt International, the young man died. There was confusion at the Benin Airport,Saturday, over what looked like a serious security breach, as an unidentified teenager allegedly stowed away in the tyre hold of an Arik Aircraft enroute from Benin to Lagos.

 With registration number 5N-MJG Flight 44, the aircraft was said to have left Benin Airport at 9am for Lagos.

   Some top officials of the Edo State government were on board the airline. Passengers aboard the airline were shocked when security agents found the teenager at the Lagos Airport after the aircraft landed.

   Though, none of the officials at the Benin Airport agreed to comment on the issue, it was gathered that the teenager may have entered the airport through the Akenzua Road axis due to lack of perimetre fencing at the Airport.

  A passenger aboard the plane said, “we had the sign in Benin when the plane was about leaving and 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.

“ So, we left for Lagos, but when we landed at Lagos Airport, the boy came out from the tyre, everybody started shouting. But talking seriously, this shows that we have a serious problem as regards securing our airports. This is a serious security breach. If that boy was carrying bomb it means he would have succeeded in blowing up the plane. How can somebody be in an aircraft without being detected, we are in trouble in this country” he stated.

As at the time of filing this report, there are also insinuations that the teenage boy could be a wizard. But many believed that the lack of perimetre fencing at the Benin Airport made the boy gain entrance into the airport.”
