STILL IN DETENTION? Let me go home, Arik Air Stowaway kid begs
Daniel Oikhena
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.”
