EKO HOT BLOG reports that authorities at the Murtala Muhammed International (MMIA) Lagos have commenced investigations to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a mangled body on Runway 18R of the airport on Thursday.
The runway serves international flights and domestic flights at night.
Daily Trust quoted a top source as saying that the dead body could not have been that of an airport official because no worker would be wandering around the highly restricted area.
He said security operatives, including the Department of State Services (DSS), have been invited to probe the situation.
Besides, it was learnt that identifying the body would require some forensic analysis as it could not be easily identified.
The source said, “As I am talking to you, security operatives including the police, Department of State Service (DSS), the Aviation Security (AVSEC) are currently investigating it. But we are suspecting it is a case of stowaway.
“But investigation will determine this. Nobody has been reported missing by any agency, company or organisation at the airport. So the person may be a stowaway.”
