Daniel Oikhena, the young stowaway on Benin-Lagos plane flanked by Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State and Mr George Uriesi, MD/CEO Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria during a courtesy visit of FAAN management staff to the Governor in Benin City,Wednesday 11th September 2013.
Governor Adams Oshiomole had this to say regarding Daniel
“without meaning to encourage anyone else, we decided to support him by sending him to one of the top secondary schools in Edo State that is owned by the Government. The reason for opting for a boarding school is that we think that there need to closely watch him which his parents could not do. “He is an intelligent young man with uncommon challenges, but one that has a vision. We had him examined by people who should know and the result confirmed that he is normal”, Oshiomhole noted. “This incident was probably the kind of trigger that we needed to improve the facilities at our Airports. ......''
In another development, Daniel Oikhena has requested
that he be allowed to go home with his mother to resume school.
It will be recalled that the teenager, who was brought back from Lagos two weeks ago, has been housed at Government House, Benin City.
The boy who answered questions in
mono-syllables in the lonely facility, told newsmen in Benin City that he was
happy with the award of scholarship to him.
He also said that he did not know
that he took a risk when he hid in an airplane wheel saying, “I will not do it
again. I regret the action. I want to go home. I am tired (of staying here). I
will be happy to be trained as an engineer.”
