Air Peace Says There Is No Tax Suit By Lagos Government Against Chairman

Air Peace has denied recent publication alleging that its Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Allen Ifechukwu Onyema, and Vice Chairman, Mrs. Alice Ojochide Onyema, are the subject of a tax suit by the Lagos State Government.

A statement from the airline reads: “We wish to state unequivocally that neither the Onyemas nor Air Peace has been served with any court summons or official notification regarding the purported suit. The claim that legal proceedings have been ongoing since February, without service or formal communication is quite surprising and shocking.

We maintain that all personal and corporate tax obligations have been duly met and remain up to date, in full compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements. However, if there is any discrepancy in the computation of taxes, the Onyemas and Air Peace remain open to engaging  the Lagos State Government to review and reconcile shortfalls if any in the interest of transparency, clarity, and due process.

Over the years, the Onyemas and Air Peace have remained committed to the advancement of Nigeria’s aviation sector, consistently demonstrating integrity, resilience, and patriotism. These values remain unchanged.

We remain committed to the highest standards of professionalism and will not be distracted from serving the flying public.”
