Air Peace CEO, Allen Onyema
SHARE

Nigerians are shocked after news emerged that the United States Department of Justice charged the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Air Peace, Mr. Allen Ifechukwu Athan Onyema, with bank fraud and money laundering.

A press release issued by the US Department of Justice states that Onyema was involved in money laundering to the tune of more than $20 million (N7.2 billion).

Mr. Onyema has recently been in the news after he offered help to the Nigerian government to evacuate victims of Xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Here are some reactions from social media over the fraud allegations against Onyema of Air Peace underneath:

Watch out for those who will carry this Allen onyema alleged fraud case on their head like Ghana weaving. They are most likely to be those who didn't hail him for saving Nigerians from xenophobia in SA

Allen Onyema will forever be a role model to me😣. I stand with #Allenonyema i stand with #Airpeace 💪

Mehn!… I have read that write up from DOJ, Georgia against Allen Onyema, CEO AirPeace.

They're deep!

The US DOJs don't just write… Their write ups most times are product of detailed investigations.

I hope he survives this… 🤔

“Allen Onyema’s status as a wealthy businessman turned out to be a fraud. He corrupted the U.S. banking system, but his trail of deceit and trickery came to a skidding halt." Robert J. Murphy, the Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division

Freakishly, Mr Allen onyema can do no wrong in my eyes, he was indicted though, he should be proven guilty before he starts been bashed, for all we know he is better than most politicians who steal our funds.
