there is no mix up. Funds were transferred from an NGO to a private business that’s what raised suspicions of money laundering. A lot of people launder money through NGOs

Sources, sources, sources.

Abeg carry this new revelation go meet them for the US courts.

I hope to see the accused vindicated if innocent.

dustmalik:
Honestly, this news is empty. Nothing to see here.

vikstandon:


Investing funds to sustain NGO are never a crime... Mismanagement of funds is what is a crime. Mind you money doesn't come from donor agencies all the time.

If he grows fund to give back to society... That's the height humanitarianism.

Do you know the meaning of NGO?
Any entity not run or owned by govt is an NGO.
A nonprofit is a different being.
An NGO or a nonprofit can invest/spend it's money any way it deems fit.
Many nonprofits actually get funds from investments, in say the stock exchange, they had made previously.

Lindseyrd:


Please show me one honest Igbo business man.

codedguy1:


It is wrong to use money for NGO for private business.

If he diverted funds from his NGO to purchase the planes, then there is a problem there.

They would investigate how the funds got to the NGO before it was diverted to buy planes. If they were some sort of donations he can't use those funds for business.

Its not like in Naija where tithes and offerings are donated in church and then the church establishes a school or business, abroad you must show how you got the funds, did he borrow from the bank or what?

I hope I have explained what I insinuated.

durangokid:
. You people are so fast to conclude, because you think being an Igbo man he has no right to owe so much money or how he got the money, you people are suprised, you will continue to be

EgunMogaji2:
According to the indictment in the USA, it was never alleged that the accused never purchased aircrafts.

The allegation is that the aircraft's were already previously purchased and were in service with AP. The money wired was criminally arranged to be used to buy aircraft that was already owned. Then the money was used for something else.

These things are pretty standard crimes in the USA and much of there developed world. Living in Nigeria full time for the past 9 months have made me realize why this will not be looked at as a crime since the moral structure of most Nigerians have been damaged due to greed and poverty.

nzeobi:
Victory for AIRPEACE at last, those who have never made money in their life were busy talking rubbish.

winterfell007:


It's not victory for them yet. Let them head to the State of Georgia to prove their case

codedguy1:


You are talking off point now.

What and where did I conclude?

Where did I say he can't owe money?

I never brought his tribe into my discussion.

Please if you can't discuss without trying to play the tribe card as a victim, do not quote me again.

Do you even know if I am of Igbo extraction?



And they would be so ignorantly sentimental about justifying what is apparently wrong in saner climes.

back2sender:
He should go to America and defend himself.

codedguy1:
The details are in the report.

The only snag here is that funds came from an NGO.

Funds for NGOs are usually donated because they are for humanitarian purposes and to divert those funds to a private business is what I think will be the problem.

Boeing must have verified the documents but are they supposed to verify where the funds came from. That should have been done by the IRS. Tax evasion or money laundery allegations can be weighty in the US depending on how it is handled.

I hope he comes out of this mess because Airpeace has been doing really well and has at least given Nigeria some sort of visibility in the skies.

mauchiz:
He helped us in South Africa, brought out those flights to carry Nigerians, what our government could not do, he did not invest abroad thereby creating employment opportunities for us, our leaders invest our money abroad, thereby making there flourish.
He is not the richest in Nigeria, but he made a sacrifice with his plane, there were rich people that would have come to rescue Nigerians in SA, but they did not do it,

This man is a nice man, they should leave him for us, he has been doing charity work for us in Nigeria.

#US government please leave him for us, catch our leaders and jail them.

Philistine:
Onyema should tell FBI all this, we don't need all this media defence.

Belleful:
