According to reports, many had lost their source of livelihood and some their precious lives, and their safety in South Africa no longer guaranteed.

It, therefore, became a matter of urgency to come back home to start afresh.

Air Peace had volunteered to airlift these Nigerians, free of charge – an act that would cost the company millions of naira. This has endeared Mr. Onyema to hearts of Nigerians, and for the Igbos, it’s a moment to be proud.
