Hard to believe the person climbed on in France in order to get into Niger?

NoD is right - could have been anywhere
Remember the 2007 LAX discovery of a stowaway on a BA 747?
Dead stowaway at LAX could be from Cape Town | The San Diego Union-Tribune
I always thought it slightly embarrassing that it it took a week and 3 or 4 trips through LHR - with presumably as many pre-flight walkarounds - before the body was finally spotted in LAX. Well, could have been worse, it could have been unlatched cowlings.

More concerning for me is the security aspect - these stowaways can breach/purchase access to transports presumably in 3rd world. Why bother using sophisticated security on your front door if your just going to leave the back door unlocked?
AF flies Ouagadougou-Niamey-Paris, so the flight in question - and the unfortunate stowaway - probably originated in OUA.
"The plane was coming from Burkina Faso’s capital, Ouagadougou, and was scheduled to continue to Paris"

What I find even more surprising is that there is enough wasted space inside a 747 wheel well to allow a body to remain in place through multiple gear cycles
