Air Peace Chairman, Allen Onyema, has pledged to repatriate the underaged Nigerian girls recently discovered to have been trafficked to Ivory Coast — at no cost.
The move follows a viral exposé by activist VeryDarkMan (Martins Vincent Otse), which shed light on the disturbing plight of the girls.
💬 Onyema said:
“We should discourage trafficking of any kind. It is inhumane and callous. It is absolutely 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, Ikeja, for free medical examination and treatment.”
He further called on the Nigerian Embassy in Côte d’Ivoire to coordinate efforts in identifying and assembling the girls, and urged the Federal Government to take up the responsibility of rehabilitating and educating the victims.
