Nigerian Stowaway boy handed over to Edo state officials

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)

Ok I think they should let the mother see her 'super son' already.
I hope the governor uses his good office to assist Daniel in any way he can.
Its not like anyone is celebrating the little boy's inactions,its the zeal,courage and determination he showed that I think everyone finds interesting/motivational.

The boy acted like a criminal...Why all the paparazzi...He should be sent to the remand home for boys at Oregun.This kind of child can aid in a robbery in a bid to "survive".Wht if he entered a place in the plane which could have endangered the lifes of people on board or he caused an accident?.Please Nigerians should drop their sentimental attitude and ensure he is corrected for this wrong doing

when i was tired of home i didn't do any tin criminal to attract sympathy instead i sold bitter leaf and groundnut to make my that transported me to ph. I slept in an uncompleted building, i had the opportunity to join prostitution and other bad stuffs i didn't.I worked as a cleaner even when i got admission i used some of my savings to start selling cloths. Today am a graduate and my dreams are coming true. This boy should not be praised, let him be reprimanded and allowed to get a gud future

Unknown said...

Now let me at dis point comment of this boy's issue,since his story started making rounds in d media I haven't commented on it save now; the boy in question has traits of a genuis and a determined spirit to succeed, the truth is that all great people/achievers in life are risk takers and people who understands the term "Breaking the Rules/ riding against the tide", and dis young lad is one, but now the ball is at d court of the government to either make him a profitable tool to them by giving him a great education and sharpening his skills,or leaving him to fate at their own detriment, he can as well grow into a smart robber, fraudster or Con man and them would become a terror to the society, the choice is theirs! Taking him from one office to the other and all these media bruhaha isn't what he needs now, the government take a positive Resolve on him now! Enough said.

The boy exposed the lapses in our security apparatus. Imagine he was a terrorist am sure lives would have been lost without a trace.
It is important to understand that if our so called leaders are acting right, he would not consider putting his life at risk in order to get to America.

True talk o!What d child did was illegal as much as we want to praise him for that act,we shud also assist him and help change his way of thinking..Not necessarily arresting d child but he shud be brought in for counselling and otherwise.

Miss Uche said...

Thank you for pointing that out if it was a grown man that did that Nigerians won't be soo lenient they would have arrested the person by now..The young boy just risked his life and we are encouraging it what he needs now is serious counselling and assistance.

I hope they don't commit him to DSS. He was unsupervised and many parents go unpunished because the law ain't being enforced. I'm sure he will be released but under some strict supervision.

I hate to hear people say that what this boy did is a criminal act,if read in one of today's daily Vanguard to be precise,the father of the boy has appeared and it seems there is a problem between the mother and the father due to financial constraints,the father had asked the mother to follow him and children to move to the cheaper part of the town where they can afford the house rent,this little boy must have experienced some level of poverty that made him to believe that going to America will solve their family problem.He was just naive.because if he had known that his adventure was a dangerous one he couldn't have tried it.Anybody that have experienced poverty very well will not blame this boy.
