Daniel Oikhena, the 14 year old stowaway who flew an Arik flight from
Benin to Lagos in the plane's Tyre compartment was Today September
3rd handed over to the Edo state Ministry of Women
Affairs and Social Development in Benin by operatives of Eo state
Command of the Department of State Security Services (DSS).
Journalists and family members, including his mother, Mrs Evelyn Oikhena
were however denied access to the boy at the DSS office in Benin City.
Also, efforts made by Mrs. Oikhena at the Ministry of Women Affairs to
see her son were rebuffed by the Ministry officials.
At the premises of the Ministry, Mrs. Oikhena lamented, “I was not
allowed to see my son at the SSS office when I was told he was there. I
went there but they said they have taken him to the Ministry of Women
Affairs. I was given a number to call but I have been calling the number
but no response. I asked some body they told me he is not here but they
told me he is here. So I am waiting to hear from them. I missed my son
and I want to see him,”she said.
At the time of this report the Ministry was making arrangement for the
boy to meet with Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
Meanwhile, the Executive Director of African Network for Environment and
Economic Justice (ANEEJ), Rev.David Ugolor, has commended the DSS for
releasing the boy and appealed to good spirited Nigerians to assist him
in his education. (PM News)
