Stowaway Boy "A.K.A 9ja James Bond" Siblings Beg For His Release

Eight days into the dramatic discovery of a teenage boy hidden inside the wheel compartment of an Arik Air which flew him to Lagos, the siblings of the 13-year- old Junior Secondary School (JSS) 2 student, Daniel Oikhena, yesterday, appealed to the concerned authority to release him.

Desmond, 9, the immediate younger brother and Kelvin, 6, who said they slept in the same room when Daniel left that fateful day, passionately appealed to the security agencies to let their brother go. They said he acted in ignorance.

Speaking on behalf of the family, Desmond said he was not surprised when the news came to them last Sunday that Daniel was in Lagos.

“Oga, I want my brother released to us. We are missing him and want him back home. My family is not happy over the continued detention of our brother.

“He is just a child and must have acted out of ignorance; we need his brotherly love and guidance. We are appealing to those responsible for his detention to please consider us because we have no money to fight any case.”
