Teenager Who flew Benin to Lagos in the Wheel of an Arik Aircraft Gets Scholarship Award to University Level

You know as the saying goes, sometimes every disappointment is a blessing in disguise.

Barely three days after the story of a teenager Daniel Oikhena, who hid in the wheel well of an Arik Air aircraft from Benin Airport to MMA, Lagos went viral, he has been offered a scholarship by  De Raufs, a volunteer group.

In a statement signed by the Director General of the group, Comrade Amitolu Shittu, the group is ready to give scholarship to Daniel up to university level and help him realise his dream of travelling by air legitimately.

Shittu said: “Genius and ambitious citizen of our country must not be suffocated on the alter of political and bureaucratic enforcement. The little boy’s ambition should be nurtured through qualitative education, and the group is ready to give the boy all the necessary support to make his dream a reality. 

His mum sure has a lot to be thankful for. Because apart from the fact that she didn't lose a son, his daring stunt has brought fortune to himself and family.
