The dead body of a stowaway, suspected to be from Nigeria was
on Wednesday found in the main wheel well of one of Arik Air’s A330-200
aircraft at the Oliver Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg.
The airline confirmed the incident in a statement by its
Communications Manager, Mr Ola Adebanji in Lagos.
The aircraft operated the scheduled Lagos-Johannesburg flight
that departed the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 3:55pm on Tuesday
and arrived in Johannesburg shortly before 11pm, according to the airline.
It said engineers of South African Airways Technical
facility at the Oliver Tambo International Airport, where the aircraft was
scheduled for a routine maintenance check, discovered the body of the stowaway
during the inspection phase.
The airline said investigations were ongoing to determine
how the stowaway found his way into the aircraft’s main wheel well.
