FBI: Stowaway slips onto cross-country flight - CNN.com
June 30, 2011
A Nigerian native, Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi, 24, is a U.S. citizen and was arrested by the FBI. The formal charges were not available.
On Friday Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi managed to board and fly on Virgin American Airlines from JFK Airport with a boarding pass not in his name and did not have proper identification on his person. Virgin Airlines and theTSA, have no comment.
Noibi boarded a flight from New York to Los Angles and was arrested only when he tried to fly out of L.A. several days later with another fraudulent boarding pass to Georgia. After Noibi’s arrest it was revealed that the name on the boarding pass belonged to another man who claimed to the FBI that he had allegedly been pick-pocketed on Thursday the day before the flight.
After Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi had boarded the flight and was in the air, he was discovered by a flight attendant who saw he was sitting in a seat that was supposed to be empty.
The attendant asked for his boarding pass and took it to the Captain. The Captain told the attendant to ask for a pictured ID. It was discovered that the boarding pass was not in Noibi’s name and it was the wrong date.
When Noibi produced an ID it was a University of Michigan ID card in which Noibi had gone for two years. He dropped out in 2006. He had been enrolled in the school’s electrical engineering program but he did not graduate.
Noibi said he lost his U.S. passport and reported that his passport had been stolen. He said that he had a Nigerian Passport at home. He was let go at the L.A. Airport. The FBI says "They did detain the "stowaway" when he landed in Los Angeles, then released him." A charge of being a stowaway carries a sentence up to five years in prison and is a felony.
Noibi spent the night inside the L.A. Airport and stayed in L.A. for several days. Then on Wednesday he tried to board a Delta flight to Atlanta, Ga. After being detected for fraudulent documents, “Noibi insisted that he had been told he could go to the gate for the flight.”
Noibi was again trying to use another fraudulent boarding pass and was stopped and taken into custody. It was discovered that Noibi had 12 different boarding passes in his possession in other people’s names.
“Authorities are saying, “There is nothing at this point to indicate terrorism in the case.”
“It is not clear what Noibi did for several days in Los Angeles, but he later told authorities he was recruiting people for his software business.”
The businesses name is Linkedln and it lists a Noibi name as "president, CEO and co-founder" and is located in Lagos, Nigeria. When the company was called someone said that, “Noibi does some consulting for the company.” Linkedln is linked to Noibi’s Facebook page.
When the FBI apprehended Noibi they read him his Miranda rights and “Noibi acknowledged that he had not paid for his flight to Los Angeles.”
