The man identified as Festus Chikelube succeeded in gaining access into the tyre compartment of Medview aircraft which was ready for taxing.

The police said the suspect had travelled by road from Anambra State to Lagos before finding his way into the airport through its perimeter fence.

The stowaway was found inside the aircraft tyre compartment by Medview Airlines pilot during his final check on the plane before its departure to Accra, Ghana.

Chikelube in his confession told police investigators that he was frustrated and wanted to leave the country for a greener pasture by all means.

When asked how he managed to find his way into the tyre compartment of the aircraft, the stowaway said he jumped the perimeter fence of the airport to gain access into the MMA2 tarmac.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Airport Command, Mr. Alabi Joseph, said “The suspect is still with us; we are on top of the matter. The Criminal Investigation Department is looking into the matter. Details of our findings will be made known soon
