The Chairman/CEO of Air Peace, Allen Onyema has denied
allegations of bank and money laundering leveled against him by the
United State Justice Department.
The US Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Georgia had
in a charge accused Onyema of money laundering “for moving more
than $20 million from Nigeria through United States bank accounts
in a scheme involving false documents based on the purchase of
airplanes.”
According to the US Department of Justice statement released on
Friday, Onyema’s Chief of Administration and Finance, Ejiroghene
Eghagha, has also been charged with bank fraud and committing
aggravated identity theft in connection with the scheme.”
But in a brief statement on Saturday, Onyema said all the
allegations “are false and are in no way in line with my character
as a person and as a business man.”
He said all the money transfer for the purchase of aircraft
passed through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
He said his lawyers are working on the allegations which would
be refuted.
The statement read: “Thank you for reaching out to me. I can
confirm to you that all allegations are false and are in no way in
line with my character as a person and as a business man whose only
aim has been to build Nigeria and improve well-being.
“As the press statement clearly stated, these are indictments
that only contain 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.”
