Air Peace has responded to reports regarding fraud charges filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Allen Onyema, and Chief of Finance/Administration, Mrs. Ejiro Eghagha.

The airline has stated that it is committed to transparency and integrity, and it is currently reviewing the allegations and urges the public to await the outcome of the investigation before drawing conclusions.

In the statement on Sunday, the airline said that the matter was in court.

“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.
