The body of an unidentified man was found in the landing
gear compartment of a plane that arrived in Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport from
Lagos, Nigeria on Monday.
The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, in a tweet via its
Twitter account said the body was discovered by the airport technical staff.
It also said an investigation into the man’s identity and
cause of death after he was discovered inside a wheel arch have begun.
“We are investigating the discovery of a body in the landing
gear of an airplane that arrived from Lagos, Nigeria.
“ The victim is a stowaway and was killed by the low
temperatures during the flight.
“The Schiphol airport police unit and forensic investigators
are working on establishing the person’s identity and cause of death,” the
tweet said.
Recall that the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Lagos
Seaport Command, on Saturday arrested five stowaways aboard a vessel enroute
Las Palmas, Spain.
NIS spokesman, Sunday James, said that the report was made
by the master of the vessel about 156 nautical miles off Lagos shoreline.
