Aircraft Seized In The US Not Our Own – Air Peace

The management of Air Peace has said that the seized aircraft in the United States of America is not its own.

An aircraft owned by a Nigerian who is facing trial for an alleged multi-million dollar fraud was seized in the US by federal authorities on Tuesday.

According to WSB-TV, the seizure was made at the Peachtree DeKalb Airport in Georgia and one of the special agent said that state, local and federal partners have joined forces to hit the bad guys where it hurts, in their pocket.

But Air Peace issued a statement on Thursday via its corporate communication executive, Stanley Olisa, stating that the airline doesn’t have any aircraft in the US.

The statement reads in part:  “The attention of Air Peace airline has been drawn to a false report linking the airline to a ceased aircraft in Atlanta, USA.

“Linking Air peace to the aircraft that was ceased in the US is the act of mischief makers locally who are bent on tarnishing the image of the airline and its owner.

“We have since learnt that the actual owner of the aircraft appeared in court on Tuesday in the US but unfortunately, some people are still linking the aircraft to Air Peace.”
