Chairman of the Air Peace Group, Allen Onyema, has pledged to bring back Nigerian underage girls trafficked to Ivory Coast at no cost, as part of the airline’s humanitarian commitment.

In a statement shared via the company’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Onyema strongly condemned the trafficking of young girls, describing it as “inhumane, and ungodly.”

Onyema expressed deep concern and condemnation over the recent discovery of Nigerian underage girls trafficked to the Ivory Coast.

In his words, “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.

“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.”
