A dead body was found on Wednesday
in the wheel well of a Nigerian plane after it
landed in South Africa, the airline said in a statement.

The body was found on a plane operated by
Arik Air, one of Nigeria's
largest airlines, that
had departed
from the country's
commercial hub of Lagos and landed at
Johannesburg's OR Tambo International
Airport Tuesday
evening.
"The lifeless body of a
stowaway was on
Wednesday, November
30, 2016 found in the
main wheel well of one
of Arik Air's A330-200
aircraft, Arik Air spokesman Adebanji Ola said in a statement.


South African
engineers discovered
the body of the
stowaway during
inspection, the
statement said.
"Investigations
are ongoing to
determine how the
stowaway found his
way into the
aircraft's main wheel
well."

In the past five years there have been
reports of dead
Nigerian stowaways
found in planes
travelling from Lagos
to Johannesburg
and New York who
have frozen to death or
have been crushed by a
wheel.

Dire economic
conditions force
Nigerians to embark on
risky trips in search of
better lives abroad, with many attempting
the dangerous Mediterranean
crossing to Europe.

Nigerians have also
been among the
hundreds of illegal
migrants intercepted
off the Red Sea coast of oil-rich Saudi Arabia this year.
