Mrs Evelyn Oikhena, who confirmed her invitation to newsmen, said she was shocked when her sister-in-law in Germany called her to say that she read the incident on the internet.

She said she was shocked that her son could embark on such a life-threatening journey to where he had never been before.

 Speaking in Benin City, yesterday, Mrs Oikhena said her son was at home with his elder sister, Tonia, his two younger brothers and his grand mother while the mother was away to visit her elder sister who had put to bed.

She said: "So I was shocked when I came back Saturday morning, and they told me that Daniel has disappeared and when I asked my daughter she said she had a quarrel with him because the boy was watching movies late into the night.

"I had even gone to report the matter at Evbuotubu police station before my sister-in-law from Germany called me to say that the story of my son was in the internet.

"One of Daniel's younger brothers said he saw him remove his school books from his bag. So I asked my neighbhours whether any of them saw him and they told me that around 5 to 6 am, they heard sounds that somebody was opening the gate but never thought it was my son. He doesn't go out. What I know is that he is always watching movies in the house but he doesn't have friends.

Nigeria Railway

The Minister of Transport, Idris Umar, on Friday said that the Nigeria Railway Corporation, NRC, would receive additional 200 wagons by December to boost transportation in the country. Mr. Umar said this while flagging-off and inaugurating four new locomotives and two telescopic cranes at the Apapa Port, Lagos.

 

The Minister, who was represented by Kawu Baraje, the corporation's Board Chairman, said that the NRC was set to reclaim its lost glory as a catalyst for development in Nigeria.
He said that the corporation would collaborate with the customs and other security agents in order to ensure efficient business activities at the port.

Mr. Baraje, in his remarks, said that the completion of the rehabilitation of the Western line had made it possible for the corporation to introduce freight and passenger trains' service.
"About one month ago, weekly Lagos-Kano intercity passenger train service was introduced to increase the number of services already provided. Today the corporation is flagging-off a container train service from Lagos to Kaduna and Kano. It is also inaugurating two newly acquired telescopic cranes and four 1800HP locomotive engines," Mr. Baraje said.

The Managing Director of the corporation, Adeseyi Sijuwade, recalled that container train services in Nigeria were suspended 17 years ago due to poor infrastructure.
Mr. Sijuwade said that the acquisition of the facilities was part of Federal Government's efforts to sustain the drive to transform the nation's socio-economic development.

He said that the four locomotives were known as class 23 locomotives in the fleet of locomotives.
"The four new locomotives to be inaugurated are self loaded with on-board computer, double drivers' panel, and fully air-conditioned cabins. The engine in each of the locomotives is Caterpillar's 1800 model 3512B engine with capability of a design speed of 100kmph," Mr. Sijuwade said.
