The Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, has responded to the accusations of fraud and money laundering leveled against him by the US government.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that Onyema released a press statement, stating that the allegations are untrue as he has never laundered money in his life.
Read his statement below:
As the press statement clearly stated, these are indictment (sic) 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.
