Stoaway kids increases "America open your borders"lol.

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.
“Lateef Popoola is from Ogun State;
Amadi Joshua is from Ebonyi while
Ukpabio Onyedikachi is from Abia State.
“The airport is not a place that you can
just come into and travel. There are
formalities. We don’t want to see these
children here again.”
The teenagers, who spoke to PUNCH
Metro, said they had been nursing the
idea of travelling abroad, adding that they
were not ready to execute their plans yet.
Lateef said he went to the tarmac to
observe how aeroplanes take off and
land.
He said he was able to gain access to the
runaway by sneaking into an airport
apron bus, but was arrested shortly after
alighting.
He said, “I am not in school, I dropped
out in Primary three. I was arrested last
week Wednesday. I actually wanted to
travel but I have yet to decided where I
will go. So, I just went to the tarmac to
see the aeroplanes.”
Lateef’s grandmother, Adunni, said she
had no idea that her grandson was
nursing the idea of travelling out of the
country. She said she had been
responsible for his upkeep since his
mother abandoned him at infancy.
“I did not know that he wanted to travel. I
just did not see him last week and I
started looking for him all over the place.
It was on Saturday that I finally found out
that he had been arrested,” she said.
Onyedikachi and Joshua were said to have
been arrested after asking some security
agents where Malaysia flights were
boarding.
After being questioned, the boys, who
were both in SS1, said they had no travel
documents and were immediately
arrested.
Police said Onyedikachi’s brother was in
Malaysia and it was possible that the
teenager wanted to travel out to see his
brother.
Onyedikachi, however said, “We were at
the departure area of the airport. We did
not attempt to travel out. We were just
loitering and wanted to see the
aeroplanes. We did not want to travel out
on that day.”
Onyedikachi’s mother berated her son for
his escapade. She said she had warned
him and Joshua to be well behaved at all
times.
She said, “I had no knowledge of what
they did. Onyedikachi is well taken care of
and is not suffering. I don’t know what
pushed him to do this.”
