Responding to financial fraud allegation, Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace airline, Allen Onyema, has hinted that he never laundered money in his entire life.

Onyema who spoke against $20 million fraud allegation levelled against him by the United States Government through a statement by Air Peace’s Chief of Administration and Finance, Ejiroghene Eghaha said, “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.”
