Mystery Of Nigerian Boy Stranded At Bangladeshi Airport by Odeku(m): 7:53pm On Jul 27, 2006 |
A Bangladeshi court has handed over an 11-year-old Nigerian boy to a charity after he was apparently deserted at the country's international airport. Efforts by the authorities to locate the boy's guardians or parents have not so far been successful. Aloysius Abacha told immigration officers at the airport that he arrived in the country on Sunday with his aunt while they were in transit to London. But police say that they have failed to trace any such woman. The boy was discovered at the arrival lounge of the busy airport by security guards, who handed him over to immigration officers. Immigration officer Muntasirul Islam quoted him as saying that his aunt's name was Rosemary. The boy told the officers that he was going with her to London because his parents lived there. 'A mystery' "But we checked our CCTV footage which suggested that he came to the arrival lounge alone," Mr Islam told the BBC. "The passenger lists of the flights that landed at the airport on that day included no such names. "We have no clue as to how he came to Bangladesh. Everything surrounding him remains a mystery to us," he said. The court in Dhaka said that the boy was being handed over to the Bangladesh National Women Lawyers Association (BNWLA) with the aim of keeping him in safe custody. "The condition of the boy seems to be alright, although he is a bit mentally traumatised because he knows no one in a foreign land," BNWLA spokeswoman Salma Ali said. She said that while the circumstances of the boy's arrival in Dhaka were still being clarified, he was being treated as a "victim" and would be sympathetically dealt with. THIS IS GETTING UGLY FOR NIGERIANS, Everything we read about Nigerians in the news this days are all bad. only God can save us http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5220490.stm |

Re: Mystery Of Nigerian Boy Stranded At Bangladeshi Airport by Damest09(f): 4:56pm On Jul 28, 2006 |
The Nigeria embassy should investigate if the boy is a Nigerian or not and if he is, they should take full responsibility of the child. |
Re: Mystery Of Nigerian Boy Stranded At Bangladeshi Airport by soulpatrol(f): 5:09pm On Jul 28, 2006 |
i suspect foul play! kind of reminded me of the movie "flightplan" with jodie foster, where she was supposedly travelling with her daughter only to find out that the daughter was never on the plane with her, and they thought she was crazy and imagining things. spooky ehn?! |

Na wa o. I am short of words. The boy is lucky at least he is now a legal immigrant! but shame to Africa's giant for someone to abandon an eleven year old na real poverty. |

Re: Mystery Of Nigerian Boy Stranded At Bangladeshi Airport by Bigtee(m): 7:54pm On Jul 28, 2006 |
This case is a very shitty. In this case the Nigerian reputation is used here to paint us black. Any way as for the abacha boy, they should send him to the remand home. Naija is a Good country. No cheap scandal like this will change that |

Re: Mystery Of Nigerian Boy Stranded At Bangladeshi Airport by exu(m): 10:26pm On Jul 28, 2006 |
The key to a succesful rumour is to make it sound believable. Lagos to London, via Dhaka? |

Wonders shall never end, the boys name sounds phony |
Re: Mystery Of Nigerian Boy Stranded At Bangladeshi Airport by Rams(m): 7:53pm On Jul 29, 2006 |
This story is just too baffling for numerous reasons. I am not saying anyone is lying but this is too weird. 1. The story does not mention where he arrived from. 2. If he was going "to London because his parents lived there," surely they can locate his family using his last name. There can't be that many Abachas in the U.K that asking each one becomes a problem. 3. How a woman forgets a child in an airport and doesn't call back frantically trying to get him back is suprising. She should have his ticket, passport, or something to prove she came with him. This is one of those things that an airport can be shut down for. 4. How can cameras in an international airport somehow miss his arrival?! 5. The boy doesn't have some sort of address, phone number or some contact to anyone any where in the world the authorities can start with? wow, this is something that should have been resolved before it had time to get to the press, unless something fishy is going on. |
Re: Mystery Of Nigerian Boy Stranded At Bangladeshi Airport by Emax(m): 9:00pm On Jul 29, 2006 |
Everything about the boy is a misery including being a Nigerian. How do they come to know that the boy is from Nigeria without Passport and of course visa? |
