"US Bound" Stowaway Arrested At Ilorin Airport by SlavaUkraini(op): 12:10am On Dec 11, 2025
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says it has detained a man, Segun Martins, after he attempted to stow away on an Overland Airways flight at the Gen. Tunde Idiagbon International Airport in Ilorin, Kwara state.

Michael Achimugu, NCAA director of public affairs and consumer protection, said in a statement on Wednesday that the incident happened at about 3:02 pm on Wednesday.

Achimugu said the incident occurred when Martins allegedly breached airside security and made his way to the foot of the aircraft, preparing to taxi for take-off.

He noted that the suspect tried to conceal himself between the aircraft tyres.

Achimugu said he was immediately apprehended by ground security personnel and handed over to the airport police division for investigation.

He noted that Martins told investigators during a preliminary finding that he believed the aircraft was headed for the United States and had hoped to leave the country by hiding in the plane’s undercarriage.

So those who japa.during pdp times including under GEJ were running from bad government too?

Plus who told you he voted for tinupoo? For all we know he voted for obi and may be fleeing the country because he cannot live without obi being president. Remember, people voted for lp in Kwara too


Modified

I essentially agree with those who say tinupoo is running a bad government

But the reason why I spoke as I did above has to do with the fact that people have been saying this thing about many governments since I started following current affairs some decades ago. At some point, you got to ask yourself the question...is Nigeria being run by the same people everytime, or is it that there is an issue with our economy that we are not paying attention to?

Leading us to the resource curse.

We must deal with the resource curse, otherwise people will keep on doing risky things to go abroad. Manufacutred goods and services. For tinubu supporters, your man is not a good leader because he is not dealing actively with the resource curse.

The answer is maybe one in millions does.

On a more serious note, he would have died. Temperatures can get so cold that he would freeze to death and drop from the plane en route or even while landing.

Very rarely do people survive

Or maybe he ran because he voted for obi and is angry about tinubu winning.

Nigerians have been japaing for decades not because politics, but because the dollar is . mightier than the naira.

And e no start under apc. Even as far back as the 1980s, Nigerians were complaining about how bad the dollar to naira was

Plus most of you including tinubu supporters vote for leaders based on whether they will share the money. You won't vote for a leader who will industrialize Nigeria to make it prosperous. Yes and obi and tinupoo are not the guy. So the country is broke and thus people run overseas

A lot of you guys praise abacha. Yet under abacha rule people were already crossing the desert to get to Europe

people run from they country because they country is bad. Nigeria has never been good, that why the citizens always ran away. I know people do travel from their country but not because of bad.

The Real Cause Of Joblessness And Unemployment In Nigeria.


Like We Always Say:

"Joblessness Is Not A Result Of Unemployment. Lack Of Empathy To Volunteer To Work With Other People Is The ROOT CAUSE For Joblessness In Nigeria And The Entire World. If You Can Volunteer For Any Brand Of Your Choice, You'll Always Eventually Be FIXED Into A Long Term Job Position."


Think Volunteering!

Quit Thinking Like A Job Searcher!
