Air Peace: Onyema Vows To Defend Himself In US Courts

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The CEO of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, has denied the fraud allegations levelled against him by the United States Department of Justice describing them as false and in no way related with his character as a person and business man whose only aim has been to build Nigeria and improve wellbeing.

Onyema, in a press statement, noted that the allegations will be refuted, saying he has not engaged in any form of money laundering before in this life.

He said: “As the press statement clearly stated, these are indictment that only contains charges. I am innocent of all charges and the US government will find no dirt on me because I have never conducted business with any illegalities.

“Be rest assured that I also have my lawyers on this and these mere allegations will be refuted. I never laundered money in my life, neither have I committed bank fraud anywhere in the world. Every Kobo I transferred to the US for aircraft purchase went through the Central Bank of Nigeria LC regime and all were used for the same purpose.

“The American companies that received the funds are still in business. I never took a penny from any US bank or Nigerian bank. I am willing to defend my innocence in the US courts.”

Recall that the  US Attorney’s Office in Georgia  alleged that the Chairman, CEO, and founder of Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, had been involved with bank fraud and money laundering for moving more than $20 million from Nigeria through United States bank accounts in a scheme allegedly involving false documents based on the purchase of airplanes.
