Officials of the Department of State Services, DSS, in Edo State, yesterday, quizzed the mother of the 14-year-old Daniel Oikhena, who flew from Benin to Lagos in the wheel compartment of an Arik Air flight on Saturday. The boy actually thought he was travelling to America.
Mrs Evelyn Oikhena, said:
“So I was shocked when I came back Saturday morning, and they told me that Daniel has disappeared and when I asked my daughter she said she had a quarrel with him because the boy was watching movies late into the night.
“One of Daniel’s younger brothers said he saw him remove his school books from his bag. So I asked my neighbors whether any of them saw him and they told me that around 5 to 6 am, they heard sounds that somebody was opening the gate but never thought it was my son. He doesn’t go out. What I know is that he is always watching movies in the house but he doesn’t have friends.
“I went to Oba Market police station, they referred me to Evbuotubu police station. When I got there, they said they would declare him missing after 24 hours and that I should come back the next day. I went to inform my pastor and other members, my friends and other relations.”
