British news company Sky News has admitted its story of the stowaway, who fell off a Kenya Airways plane in London in June 2019, was based on misleading information.

Sky News has blamed the interviewees in the story for the error.

“However, we no longer have conclusive evidence that he worked for the cleaning company Colnet and we apologise to Colnet for suggesting the stowaway was one of their employees,” reads part of the statement.

Hours before admitting the error, Sky News pulled the investigative report from their website.
