Policemen attached to the Airport Command, have arrested a desperate man who wanted to leave Nigeria and go to overseas country. The man was found inside the tyre of an aero contractor plane.
The suspect, believed to be in his twenties, name yet unknown, thought the plane was heading to overseas and had hidden inside the tyre, intending to get to his destination through that way.
He was discovered by the pilot of the aero contractor who was doing a round check before takeoff time.
Preliminary police investigation revealed that the man on Tuesday night scaled a dividing fence through Concord Road and gained entry into the airport. He found the aero contractor plane and hid inside one of the tyres. He was discovered yesterday morning.
A source said: “The man is from Anambra State. He said that thought the plane was heading to overseas country; he didn’t know that it was a local flight. He was arrested at the MMA2.”
