Air Peace, one of Nigeria’s leading airlines, has pledged to rescue underaged Nigerian girls trafficked to Ivory Coast, offering free evacuation flights and comprehensive medical care. This announcement was made by the airline’s chairman, Dr. Allen Onyema, who condemned human trafficking as “inhumane and ungodly.”
The initiative follows public outcry led by activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, who raised awareness about the plight of these girls. In response, Onyema expressed deep concern and called for collective efforts to combat trafficking.
“We are ready to bring our fellow citizens back home free of charge,” Onyema stated. He also announced plans to provide free medical treatment at Duchess International Hospital in Ikeja for the rescued girls. Furthermore, he urged the Nigerian Embassy in Ivory Coast to coordinate efforts for their repatriation and called on the Federal Government to support their education and reunite them with their families.
This humanitarian gesture highlights Air Peace’s commitment to addressing social issues and supporting vulnerable Nigerians.
