Air Peace To Airlift Trafficked Teenagers From Ivory Coast To Nigeria

Air Peace Airline has volunteered to airlift Nigerian teenage girls trafficked to Ivory Coast back to the country.

Chairman of Air Peace Group, Dr Allen Onyema, who expressed deep concern and condemnation over the recent discovery of the underage girls, called for collective efforts to discourage trafficking, describing it as inhumane and ungodly.

LEADERSHIP reports that the underage girls were trafficked to Ivory Coast, as highlighted by activist and social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.

Speaking to journalists, Dr Onyema also promised to foot the hospital bills of the trafficked underage girls as soon as they return to the country.

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 are going to 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,” he said.
