Onyema Denies US Fraud Allegations, Says All Money Transferred Went Through CBN by OEPHIUS(m): 8:44am On Nov 23, 2019 |
AirPeace CEO Allen Onyema, has denied all fraud allegations by the USAZ, stating that they are false and are in no way in line with his character as a person and as a business man whose only aim has been to build Nigeria and improve wellbeing. “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,” Onyema stated. The US Attorneys office in Georgia had alleged that the Chairman, CEO, and founder of Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, has 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. https://businessday.ng/news/article/onyema-denies-us-fraud-allegations-says-all-money-transferred-went-through-cbn/ 55 Likes 2 Shares

Let's hope so. America doesn't engage in media trial like Nigeria. They must have done extensive investigation which may even have taken years before this came to the media. I just hope he is clean because he is one of the few "shinning lights" we have at the moment even though we don't know how it all started. 270 Likes 8 Shares |

Hope he comes out of this innocent. Many persons(in the airline industry and some ordinary Nigerians) are already waiting to laugh at him Meanwhile, EFCC is patiently waiting for the indictment to be real so they can head to a court to get asset forfeiture order ![]() 82 Likes |

One question. True or false, did you actually obtain an appraisal document for the planes from a real company to present to bank for LC before such was sent to CBN for the transfer? 18 Likes |

Oga they are not saying your Letters of Credit emanated from a fake source nor are they saying they didn't pass through Nigerian banks , they are saying you forged documents and lied about the intent you planned to use the funds because instead of jejely buying the plane you claimed you wanted you instead redistributed the same into various accounts in the US ( huge mistake) which automatically breached US anti money laundering funds.. Onyeama I will advise you get you best legal team ready as the implications of your action are more serious than you think to those Americans see below some implications of your actions sir: . 1: You could be charged for funding Terrorism if a single dime from that money he transfered mistakenly finds it way to the hands of a terrorist and the US anti terror act is no joke. 2 .You could be charged for breaching US anti drug laws if a single dime is traced to any drug dealer even by mistake. 3. You could be charged with bringing corrupt money into the US if a single dime is traced to any politically corrupt money anywhere. 4 . AIR PEACE will hence forth find it hard to pay for it's aircrafts parts in the us as well as buy new planes because it's letters of credit will not be honored . 5 . You can forget his pending aircraft orders with Boeing and Embraer as this will not happen for now because the Americans now own both Boeing and Embraer. This is not good for you Onyema trust me 61 Likes 4 Shares |
