< 1 mn read

Air Peace has issued a statement assuring the public that the ongoing legal case involving its CEO, Allen Onyema, and Chief of Administration and Finance, Ejiroghene Eghagha, will not interfere with its daily operations. The airline emphasized that both executives maintain their innocence regarding the charges brought against them by the United States Department of Justice, with the case still proceeding in court.

In a statement shared on the airline’s X handle, Air Peace management reaffirmed, “While the charges have been expanded, it is essential to emphasize that both Dr. Onyema and Mrs. Eghagha remain innocent, and these are mere allegations. The case is still in court.”

The airline expressed confidence in its legal team, stating that they are actively managing the situation. “Through due process, the truth will be revealed, and our CEO and co-defendant will be exonerated,” the statement added.

Air Peace further reassured customers and the public that “these legal proceedings will not affect the safety, reliability, or the day-to-day operations of Air Peace.”

The legal troubles stem from a superseding indictment by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, which accuses Onyema and Eghagha of submitting false documents to obstruct a federal investigation. The duo has been under scrutiny since 2019 for alleged money laundering activities.
