Drama at airport as man attempts to sneak between aircraft tyres to escape to the U.S.
Drama erupted at the airport this afternoon after a man identified as Segun Martins attempted to board an overland aircraft illegally by hiding between the wheels.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), airport officials revealed that the aircraft was preparing for takeoff when Segun suddenly gained unauthorized access to the runway and crawled toward the landing gear compartment of the plane.
He reportedly tried to position himself between the aircraft tyres, intending to conceal himself throughout the flight.
Security personnel immediately spotted the suspicious movement and rushed toward him before the aircraft could begin taxiing.
Segun was swiftly apprehended and handed over to the Airport Police Command for further investigation.
During interrogation, he confessed that he believed the aircraft was flying to the United States of America, and his plan was to “escape” by hiding inside the wheel compartment, an extremely dangerous area that reaches freezing temperatures and lacks oxygen at high altitude.
