A security breach occurred at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos on Sunday.
A male teenager, Samuel Ogungbeyi, was arrested in the tyre compartment of an aircraft, operated by Tag Aviation, and parked in the hangar of Execujet terminal at the private General Aviation Terminal of the airport.
The stowaway was discovered about noon when pilots of the aircraft marked M-MYNA, were carrying out routine inspections on the aircraft before starting the engine.
The commanding pilot of the aircraft was said to have detected the boy in the tyre compartment of the aircraft.
Also, two handsets without sim cards were found with Ogungbeyi.
The suspect confessed he entered the hangar through the Headquarters of Air Defence Corp of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) located next to the Presidential/VIP Lounge in the airport, on Saturday night “with the help of my brother”.
The aircraft was said to have flown in a former Minister of Petroleum, Chief Dan Etete, into Lagos airport on Saturday night and parked at the private hangar, where it was expected to take off on Sunday afternoon before the incident happened.
