PICS: Three Teenage Stowaways Caught At Lagos Airport

I guess this trend as come to stay,Three would-be stowaway teenage boys, were arrested on September 24 and 25.Yesterday they were handed over to their parents by the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, Police Command. 
Joshua Amadi, 14, from Ebonyi State; Onyedikachi Ukpabio 14, Abia, and Lateef Popoola 13, Ogun.
One of the teenagers, Onyedicachi Ukpabio, an SS1 student, said they had not decided where to travel to before they were arrested. 

They were just at the departure hall when they saw a man, who approached them and asked them if they had a BlackBerry charger to enable him charge his phone, they told the man that they didn’t have one, before his friend, Amadi, asked the man if he knew the plane going to Malaysia.
He said the question made the man to alert the airport police and got them arrested. Popoola, a primary three pupil from Ogun State, was caught on Wednesday, a day after Ukpabio and Amadi were arrested. If you can recall, a few weeks ago a group of supporters of Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, offered 14 year old Daniel Oikhena, the boy who flew an Arik plane from Benin to Lagos hidden in the plane's undercarriage, a scholarship. Is this what we get from rewarding indiscipline?
