Chairman of Air Peace Group, Dr. Allen Onyema, has expressed deep concern over the discovery of underage Nigerian girls trafficked to Ivory Coast.
The Air Peace boss, while condemning the development, called for collective efforts to discourage trafficking, emphasising its inhumane and ungodly nature.
In a statement he personally signed, the Onyema urged all to discourage people involved in trafficking of any kind, describing it as a demonstration of man’s inhumanity to man.
He 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 in Ikeja for free medical examination and treatment.
“While we implore the Nigerian Embassy in Cote D’ Ivoire to assemble them and reach out to us, we equally call on the Federal Government to take charge of their education while reuniting them with their families.”
This was as a response to a video recently posted by a social media influencer Verydarkman who visited Ivory Coast and saw first hand the plight of the underage girls who were lured into the country and turned into sex slaves
