He never told anyone about his passion to be on a plane, not even his mother. His only confidant was his younger brother who he always told that he would one day travel abroad on an aircraft.
Last Saturday, Daniel attempted to realise his dream: he sneaked away from home to the Benin Airport. Undetected, the teenager got to the Arik plane. He grabbed one of the aircraft’s tyres, held on to it for the duration of the flight, apparently less than an hour.
Like the Biblical Daniel, who escaped the lions’ fangs when he was thrown into their den, Daniel Ohikhuna survived the flight to the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Ikeja, Lagos.
It was not until he was caught in Lagos under the Arik aircraft that the stowaway realised the risk he had taken.
