Air Peace has issued a statement responding to recent fraud charges brought by the U.S. Department of Justice against its CEO, Dr. Allen Onyema, and Chief of Finance/Administration, Mrs. Ejiro Eghagha. The airline reassures the public of its commitment to transparency and cooperation with the ongoing legal process.
The charges, an extension of earlier allegations related to financial misconduct, remain mere allegations until proven in court. Air Peace emphasizes that no conclusions should be drawn until the legal process is completed. The airline’s legal team is working diligently to ensure justice is served and achieve exoneration for Onyema and Eghagha.
Throughout the investigation, Dr. Onyema and his representatives have maintained transparency and cooperation with authorities. Air Peace’s operations remain unaffected, prioritizing safe and reliable services.
“We assure the public that these proceedings will not interfere with our day-to-day operations,” the airline stated. “Safety and reliability remain our utmost priority.”
Air Peace has confidence in the legal system and urges calm as the case proceeds. The airline maintains that the truth will reveal Onyema and Eghagha’s innocence, vindicating them once the legal process concludes.
