The mother of the 13-year-old
stowaway, Ricky Daniel Ohikhena, who on Friday (August 23rd, 2013) hid in the tyre compartment of
an Arik plane on a flight from Benin to Lagos, was on Monday quizzed for hours
by a combined team of security operatives from the Department of State Security
Service and aviation security.
The mother, Evelyn, who confirmed
that she was quizzed by the SSS operatives, said her son was a nice boy who
never displayed any tendency for such a dangerous venture.
An embattled Evelyn said Daniel was a
nice boy who did not mingle with bad friends.
She said, “My son answers Daniel in
school and Ricky at home. I went to my elder sister’s place who put to bed and
when I got home the next morning (Saturday), I couldn’t find him. My daughter
told me that they quarrelled in the night because he woke at midnight to watch
movies and she told him to stop watching movie in the night and she said he
eventually slept in the parlour while she said she went back to sleep in the
room.
“One of his younger brothers said he
saw him remove all his school books from his bag; so I asked my neighbours
whether any of them saw him and they told me that at around 5 to 6 am, they
heard sounds that somebody was opening the gate but never thought it was my
son. He doesn’t go out. What I know is that he is always watching films in the
house but he doesn’t have friends.
“I went to Oba Market police station,
they referred me to Evbuotubu police station, when I got there they said they
will declare him missing after 24 hours and that I should come back the next
day.”
