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.
