The Airport Command of the Nigeria Police Force has arrested three teenagers for allegedly attempting to illegally board some international flights in Lagos.

Commissioner of Police for the command, Salahu Waheed, said the suspects, Lateef Popoola, 13; Amadi Joshua, 14; and Ukpabio Onyedikachi, 14, were arrested at different times at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja.

Waheed, while handing over the suspects to their mothers, said there was a need for their respective state governments to rehabilitate them like the Edo State Government did with teenage stowaway, Daniel Ihekina, who was arrested on August 24, 2013 after sneaking into the tyre compartment of a Lagos-bound Arik plane.

He said, “These boys were found at different times at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. Their aim was to get into any plane and travel out of Nigeria.

“I decided to hand them over to their parents so they will be well taken care of and stop dwelling on the fantasy that you can just come into the airport, enter a plane and travel.

“Their state governments should try to rehabilitate them just like Edo State did for the stowaway in Benin.

na wa o

Na wa oo.so stowaway is now the latest trend in this country.They should investigate this issue thoroughly.I am quite sure that one among the 3 kids will be a staff child if not all.

Dem dey kolo o

D earlier we start preaching gud things about dis country d better for us ad our kids. Imagin everyday we wil be sayin one bad thin or d other about nija in presence of our kids. As kids, they wil concld dat nija is a bad thin 2 happen to their life ad start planin 2run away from d bad thin.

They should be flogging dis children sef. Make dm learn lesson. Everybody wan enter news!

It is becoming too much maybe their parents should be arrested or the boys are sent to juvenile homes to stop all this nonsense,we should not encourage all this nonsense parents should stop have children if they can't look after them.

It is not a must that you must have kids, if you so cherish children then you should be able to look after them and also train them.

It is not the duty of the states to look after children that made attempt to travel abroad.
