Air peace airline denies pilot’s links with Niger Delta millitants
Air Peace Airline has denied reports that one of its pilots, First Officer John Paul Nku, is a former Niger Delta militant.
The airline, in contrary to claims making the rounds in the social media, said although Nku was one of the beneficiaries of the presidential amnesty programme, he is not a repentant militant but one of over 5,000 non-agitators from Niger Delta communities.
The Corporate Communications Manager of the airline, Chris Iwarah, said that the pilot was erroneously tagged as a former militant.
“It is, therefore, improper to describe Nku as a former militant simply because he was identified as one of the beneficiaries of the PAP,” Iwarah said.
