Air Peace has replied the Chairman, CEO of Lagos State Government Wharf Landing Fee Collecting Authority, Mr. Joe Igbokwe after his allegation that the airline blocked him from traveling to Abuja with their services.
Taking to his Facebook account yesterday, Mr. Igbokwe wrote: “Air Peace shocked me this morning and blocked me from traveling to Abuja with the airline.”
