Air Peace has officially addressed reports concerning the fraud charges brought forward by the U.S. Department of Justice against its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Allen Onyema, and the Chief of Finance/Administration, Mrs. Ejiro Eghagha. These charges relate to alleged financial misdeeds that have drawn significant public attention.
The airline has reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, integrity, and upholding the highest standards of corporate governance. In light of the current allegations, Air Peace emphasized that they are thoroughly reviewing the situation and urged the public to refrain from making hasty judgments until the legal process has fully unfolded.
The company also shared that its legal team is actively engaged with the matter, ensuring that due process is followed in all legal proceedings. They expressed confidence in the judicial system, maintaining hope that the truth will eventually come to light, and that their CEO and co-defendant will be exonerated in due course.
In the statement released on Sunday, Air Peace pointed out that this legal matter, while serious, remains in court. They stressed the importance of noting that the charges are, at this stage, merely allegations, and the matter remains under investigation.
The airline further acknowledged that these proceedings have understandably caused concerns among stakeholders and the general public, but reassured everyone that their legal team is handling the situation with the utmost dedication to safeguarding the company’s reputation.
According to Air Peace, despite the ongoing legal case, the airline has continued its operations without any disruptions. The company remains dedicated to providing excellent services, ensuring that the safety, reliability, and day-to-day operations of the airline are not compromised by these developments.
Onyema and his legal team have reportedly maintained full cooperation with the relevant authorities throughout this extended legal process, which stems from earlier accusations dating back several years. As the case progresses, the airline reaffirmed its commitment to its customers, employees, and the Nigerian public, stressing that Air Peace will continue to operate at full capacity and meet the highest standards of service delivery.
