25-Year-Old Leroy Ogaga Caught At Benin Airport In Stowaway Attempt The last has not been heard of persons who attempt to beat security measures at Nigeria’s airports to ‘hitch a ride’. Another incident was today reported as a certain Leroy Ugaga tried to gain entry into the airside of the Benin Airport. In a statement released Monday and made available to News Bytes, General Manager, Corporate Communications, FAAN, Yakubu Dati disclosed that “an intruder, Mr Leroy Ugaga, aged about 25, who wanted to gain access to the airside of the Benin Airport was arrested today by a joint patrol team of FAAN’s Aviation Security Services and the Nigerian Air Force.” “The intruder was sighted by members of the patrol team as he tried to gain entry to the airside and was quickly apprehended and handed over to the Police for further investigation.” “A joint perimeter patrol by FAAN’s security staff and men of Nigerian Air Force at the Benin Airport is one of the additional security measures taken by the Benin Airports Authority of Nigeria to forestall runway incursions at all Nigerian airports, following the stowaway incident that occurred at the Benin Airport on August 24, 2013” Dati added. FAAN seized the opportunity to appeal to the youths and members of the public to “avoid the risk of gaining unauthorized entry into restricted areas of airports, as doing so could be dangerous, in view of recent additional security measures taken by the Authority to forestall such illegal entries.” Recall that a teenage boy tried to hide in the tire compartment of an Arik airline at the same Benin airport on the 24th of August, 2014............#News Bytes
