Edo State Government has taken custody of Daniel Ohikhena, the 13-year
old boy who flew to Lagos in the tyre compartment of an Arik airplane.
It was not confirmed on Wednesday where the lad would be kept. Many
government officials declined comments on the matter but a top source
said Daniel would not be given to the family. The source said they
discovered that Daniel would not do well if he is returned to either
his mother or father since they are separated.Daniel's father,
Osaigbovo, who suddenly appeared on Tuesday, said he was yet to see
his son. In a telephone chat, Osaigbovo said he has been begging for
them to allow him see his son even for a few minutes, adding that he
was yet to be told on what transpired during the meeting between
Governor Adams Oshiomhole, officials of the State Ministry of Women
Affairs, his wife and son. The meeting was also attended by the State
Director of DSS, Bakori Tukur. Daniel's mother, Evelyn, however vowed
to take custody of her son or government would be ready to detain her
along with the lad. Daniel was said to have told the governor and
security operatives that he does not want to see his father.
