A 25-year-old
man who attempted to hide under the tyre carriage of a Medview aircraft
on a domestic flight was apprehended yesterday at the Murtala Muhammed
Airport Terminal 2 (MMA2) in Lagos.
He was found by the pilot during his final check on the plane before its departure to Accra, Ghana.
Airport workers
hinted that he succeeded in gaining access into the tyre compartment of
the aircraft which was ready for taxing on the Tarmac .
He hid himself
at the tyre compartment in the under carriage of the aircraft .A source
hinted that final inspection round the plane by the pilot drew his
attention to some strange movements and object inside the tyre
compartment.
The man was
handed over to the police at the domestic airport where he confessed he
has nursed the ambition of carry out the act for two weeks and had been
holed up around the airport while perfecting his plan.
The stowaway was
said to have confessed that he did what he did out of desperation to
leave the country for another in the quest for greener pasture.
When asked how
he found his way into the tyre compartment of the aircraft, he declared
that he jumped through the fence that demarcated the VIP Lounge section
of the airport from the tarmac where the plane was waiting for
clearance for takeoff.
He has been handed over to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further questioning.
