In response to recent reports, the U.S. Department of Justice filed fraud charges against Air Peace’s CEO, Dr. Allen Onyema, and Chief Financial Officer/Administration, Mrs. Ejiro Eghagha. Air Peace has responded to these reports.
The airline said in a statement that it is closely looking into the claims and that it is committed to openness and honesty. Air Peace urged the public to refrain from making assumptions and await the outcome of the ongoing legal proceedings. The airline reaffirmed that the matter is presently before the court and that it will adhere to the necessary due process.
“We understand that this may have raised concerns, and we wish to address these report directly.
“These charges levelled against our post-holders are part of an extended legal process stemming from earlier accusations of financial misdeeds that date back several years,” the airline stated.
It said that, while the charges had been expanded, it would be essential to emphasise that they were mere allegations and the case still in court.
“Our legal team is fully engaged with the matter and is working tirelessly to ensure that justice prevails.
“We remain confident that, through due process, the truth will be revealed and our CEO and co-defendant will be exonerated,” it added.
It said that Onyema and his legal team had consistently cooperated with authorities throughout the process.
It also said that Air Peace had continued to operate without disruption, upholding its commitment to effective services.
“We want to re-assure the public that these legal proceedings will not impact the safety, reliability or day-to-day operations of Air Peace,” it said.
