'Neither our Chairman, Vice, Airline  were served with  any court summons' 

......No official notification of tax suit by LASG ,  Air Peace clarifies 








  The management of Air Peace has stated unequivocally that neither its Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Allen Ifechukwu Onyema, and Vice Chairman, Mrs. Alice Ojochide Onyema, nor Air Peace has been served with any court summons or official notification of a tax suit by the Lagos State Government.


Air Peace in a statement signed by its management noted with concern about a publication alleging that its Chairman/Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman are the subject of a tax suit by the Lagos State Government.

The management of the airline stated that

the claim that legal proceedings have been ongoing since February, without service or formal communication is quite surprising and shocking.

The airline stated that: “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”.

Air Peace maintained 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.

The airline explained that 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.

The airline emphasised that 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, stressing that these values remain unchanged.

Air Peace said it remained committed to the highest standards of professionalism and will not be distracted from serving the flying public.
