Air Peace Limited said it has carried out a rescue mission to repatriate 78 Nigerian women trafficked to Côte d’Ivoire under the false pretence of employment.
The airline said it deployed a Boeing 737 aircraft (registration 5N-BQV), which departed Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on Saturday and landed at Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, Abidjan, before returning with the victims on the same day entirely free of charge.
Receiving the returnees, Air Peace’s Chairman, Allen Onyema, assured them that the Federal Government would take care of them.
According to him, President Bola Tinubu is happy with their safe arrival in Nigeria.
He also erased fears of them being arrested, saying the Federal Government officials were on the ground to receive them.
He charged them to believe in themselves, adding that the government reached out to repatriate them back home.
