Let me go home, stowaway kid begs

BENIN — MASTER Ricky Daniel Ohikhena, who
last month stowed away to Lagos in an Arik Air
flight,   yesterday, requested that he be
allowed to go home with his mother to resume
school.

It will be recalled that the teenager, who was
brought back from Lagos two weeks ago, has
been housed at Government House, Benin City.
The boy who answered questions in mono-
syllables in the lonely facility, told newsmen in
Benin City that he was happy with the award of
scholarship to him.
He also said that he did not know that he took
a risk when he hid in an airplane wheel saying,
“I will not do it again. I regret the action. I
want to go home. I am tired (of staying here). I
will be happy to be trained as an engineer.”
