Airport sources could not immediately ascertain the reason for the man’s action.

Air Peace, however, said the man was a stowaway who thought the plane was heading overseas.

suspect was being held by the industry regulator for further investigation.

The Air Peace statement read in part, “This morning, at exactly 9:10 at the MMA1 Lagos, an Owerri – bound Air Peace aircraft was taxing towards the threshold for take-off, when a man, in his twenties, emerged from the bush along the runway and tried to gain access into the aircraft through the wheel-well.

“There was a private jet behind the aircraft. The pilot-in-command of the private jet informed the Air Peace pilot-in-command that a young man obviously in his twenties, was trying to force his way into the aircraft.

“The security wing of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria was alerted and the man was accosted and whisked away. He is currently in the regulator’s custody. When interrogated on why he took the action, the man stated that he thought the aircraft was headed overseas.”

The General Manager, Public Affairs, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Henrieta Yakubu, did not pick her calls.

However, the Police Public Relations Officer, Airport Command, Mr. Joseph Alabi, said the command was still investigating the incident.

He promised to get back to our correspondent.

The incident happened barely six months after a madman found his way to the Lagos airport and climbed a Port Harcourt-bound Azman Airlines plane. The mentally ill man was later identified as Usman Adamu from Republic of Niger.

The Police said the Nigerien could not speak or understand English Language.

investigation was still ongoing to ascertain how Adamu gained access to the heavily restricted area at the airport.

According to a video shot by one of the Port Harcourt-bound passengers, Adamu was seen entering the fuselage of the aircraft with hand luggage and also climbing one of its wings.

He was later apprehended by Aviation Security Personnel of FAAN and taken to its detention facility before the case was transferred to the Police for further investigation.

Following the development, FAAN placed on indefinite suspension, the Aviation Security Unit heads who were on duty when the incident occurred.

The other day it was one small boy-Daniel(@ Benin Airport) that hid in the hood of which ?airline & landed in Lagos.Then a Nigerien dare the unthinkable and now today this breach again in same Lagos airport.

What is going on? Yet FAAN is only obsessed with creating a no friendly zone around airports.This breaches just shows and confirms how zero the security of Nigeria.
This is another negative for Nigeria.

na still on still

The person if lucky will survive around 11 minutes from takeoff. The moment the aircraft passes 10,000 ft, he will definitely fall unconscious and dead due to the lack of oxygen.

Even if he has a thick skin and being protected by genies, by the time the aircraft reaches 20,000 ft, he would have died of hypothermia (body loses heat faster than it can produce heat).

So I don’t see the scientific justification to give credence to the fact that someone will survive that kind of situation.

This country not secure at all.

tough skin my foot....he wouldnt have survived it....

you think you can enter a aeroplane through the wheels....??

you cant survive the temperatures....

He would just freeze away..the wind and temperature go kill am like chicken way fall inside water.. yeyenatu..

Set him free naa, as long as the Aeroplane is not heading Oversea ....... Naija for Naija

This man must be very foolish.


I think he is sucidal, I mean why would he try that shit

megawealth01:
he might oooo those Nigerian get tough skin

Of course not.. If the temperature doesn't kill him, then the air pressure will... Or he dies of lack of oxygen due to altitude (relating to air pressure)

Or he freezes to death because the temperature will drop like a bastard..... There are literally 101 ways to die stowing away on a plane.. If he hides in the landing tire section, as the plane takes off, the tyres will retract and crush him.... Or as the plane is about to land, it opens up the landing tyres and he falls from the sky..... The possibilities are endless... Only about 4 people have been recorded to be alive (and damaged) after this..

Nothing like tough skin here oo
Survive ko, Survey ni
