The Chairman of Air Peace Group, Allen Onyema, has pledged to bring back Nigerian underage girls trafficked to Ivory Coast completely free of charge.
In a statement shared on the airline’s official X (formerly Twitter) page, Allen Onyema condemned human trafficking, describing it as cruel, inhumane, and deeply wrong.
He stressed the need for everyone to work together to fight against such practices.
Reacting to reports that several Nigerian girls were recently discovered to have been trafficked to Ivory Coast, Onyema said Air Peace is ready to fly them back home at no cost.
He also promised that the girls would be given free medical care at Duchess International Hospital in Ikeja once they return.
“We should discourage trafficking of any kind. It is inhumane and callous. It is ungodly and a good example of man’s inhumanity to man. We, in Air Peace, are ready to bring our fellow citizens back home free of charge,” Onyema said.
“Besides that, we will send all of them to Duchess International Hospital in Ikeja for free medical examination and treatment.
“While we implore the Nigerian Embassy in Cote D’Ivoire to assemble them and reach out to us, we equally call on the Federal Government to take charge of their education while reuniting them with their families.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Air Peace previously offered to freely evacuate Nigerians who are stranded due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan.
