Air Peace has reacted to the recent fraud charges filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against its CEO, Allen Onyema, and the airline’s Chief of Finance/Administration, Mrs. Ejiro Eghagha.
In a statement released on Sunday, the airline acknowledged the ongoing legal case, stating that it is part of a prolonged legal process tied to financial allegations dating back several years. Air Peace stressed that while the charges have been expanded, they remain mere allegations, and the case is still in court.
“Our legal team is fully engaged with the matter and is working tirelessly to ensure that justice prevails,” the airline assured, adding that they are confident the truth will eventually be revealed, leading to the exoneration of Onyema and Eghagha.
The statement also emphasized that Onyema has cooperated fully with authorities throughout the legal proceedings, and the airline’s operations remain unaffected. Air Peace reiterated its commitment to providing safe and reliable services, stating that these legal issues would not disrupt its day-to-day operations.
“We want to reassure the public that these legal proceedings will not impact the safety, reliability, or day-to-day operations of Air Peace,” the statement concluded.
