Air Peace says Onyemas’ personal and corporate tax obligations are fully met, insists no court summons over alleged suit.
Air Peace has denied reports alleging that its Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Allen Ifechukwu Onyema, and Vice Chairman, Mrs. Alice Ojochide Onyema, are subjects of a tax suit by the Lagos State Government.
In a statement on Monday, the airline said neither the Onyemas nor the company has been served with any court summons or official notification regarding the purported suit.
It described as surprising claims that legal proceedings have been ongoing since February without any formal communication or service.
Air Peace maintained that all its personal and corporate tax obligations have been fully met and remain up to date in compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
The airline, however, expressed willingness to engage with the Lagos State Government in the event of any discrepancies.
“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 any shortfalls in the interest of transparency, clarity, and due process,” the statement said.
The company added that it remains committed to advancing Nigeria’s aviation sector, noting that its leadership has consistently demonstrated integrity, resilience, and patriotism.
Air Peace also reaffirmed its commitment to professionalism and service delivery, stating that it will not be distracted from serving the flying public.
