The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has waded into the $44.9 million wire fraud and money laundering case against Air Peace Chief Executive Allen Ifechukwu Athan Onyema hours after his indictment in the United States (US).
Onyema was indicted along with his finance officer, Ejiroghene Eghagha, by the US Department of Justice (DoJ).
They were accused of “moving more than $20 million from Nigeria through some United States banks in a scheme involving false documents based on the purchase of airplanes.”
Eghagha, who is the international airline’s Chief of Administration and Finance, was also accused of bank fraud and committing aggravated identity theft in connection with the scheme.
The EFCC is also investigating two Nigerian banks for allegedly facilitating the transfer of the money to the US and processing letters of credit to buy planes for Air Peace.
They are Foundation for Ethnic Harmony, International Centre for Non-Violence and Peace Development, All-Time Peace Media Communications Limited and Every Child Limited.
Onyema has since denied the allegations against him and stated his readiness to travel to the US to defend himself.

My opinion. No one is too holy to commit any crime and not every man under investigation man is guilty till he is proven other wise by a court of competent jurisdiction or a legal panel. On a second thought,no one is above the law no matter how he or she have been so good to the society,if Mr Allen is found wanting let the law take it curse.
That’s black people if u do sumthing good the will investigate you but if so white people do the same the will say thanks only African people jealous 2 mutch
