United States government has asked a US District Court, Northern District of Georgia to approve the forfeiture of approximately $14 million in assets from Allen Ifechukwu Athan Onyema, the CEO of Air Peace, following a recent superseding indictment.

This is contained in an indictment, which Nairametrics obtained for confirmation, outlining serious allegations of fraud and money laundering against Onyema and his associate Ejiroghene Eghagha, who is the Chief of Administration and Finance at Air Peace.

The indictment includes multiple counts against the defendants: Count One alleges conspiracy to commit bank fraud, while Counts Two through Four detail instances of bank fraud.

Specifically, the U.S. government seeks forfeiture of:

—$4,017,852.51 from a JP Morgan Chase Bank account held by Springfield Aviation Inc.

—$4,393,842.05 from a Bank of Montreal account, also associated with Springfield Aviation Inc.

—$5,634,842.04 from another Bank of Montreal account linked to Blue Stream Aero Services, Inc.

The indictment further states that if any of the forfeitable properties cannot be located, have been transferred, or diminished in value, the U.S. intends to seek the forfeiture of other assets belonging to the defendants equivalent to the value of the forfeitable properties.

The legal actions are being pursued under the oversight of U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan, along with Garrett L. Bradford and Christopher J. Huber.

Wealth without enterprise. What do you expect.

Imagine what an audacity. America has stolen huge amount of money from Nigeria through the Nigeria politicians and those overnight business man like Alex Onyema. No wonder they want the country continue existing.
The indictment further states that if any of the forfeitable properties cannot be located, have been transferred, or diminished in value, the U.S. intends to seek the forfeiture of other assets belonging to the defendants equivalent to the value of the forfeitable properties.

When Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro was re-elected, all of a sudden, the US government placed a $15,000,000 bounty on him for drug related crimes and such. All because he said he wouldn't sell oil to them in $$$, amongst other reasons

US are still dragging their foot over the FOIA disclosure lawsuit was filed last year against the Department of Justice over the hidden and redacted records of the man who now sits as the President of Nigeria.


So, F**k what they say about a private airline mogul of the only relevant Nigerian fleet outside this shores. In Hundeyin's words: I have seen what America really is - Nigeria with snow and nuclear weapons. It is a useless, corrupt and indefensible country ruled by world class liars and propagandists.

Free the man abeg

It is very difficult to see an *gbo rich man with clean wealth.

Air Peace is a product of Billion's laundered from Presidential amnesty program and NDDC. Those that stole the money from Government only used Air Peace as front.

From Alex Onyema to Obi.

Make them leave am alone o

The U.S. government's move to seek forfeiture of Allen Onyema's $14 million assets related to Air Peace raises significant questions about accountability and transparency in the aviation industry. It’s important to stay informed on developments in this case. For more updates, check out The Bureau Newspaper Here!

Make dem come carry am if them fit. Useless country

I have not followed up on recent happenings. They are wanna get his guy.

Omo
This guy is in hot soup
I don’t think he can survive the US long arm of law

Why do some our Ibo brothers have a problem with the fact that Onyema is essentially an old crook? I mean it's not as if anyone in Nigeria can orchestrate a smear campaign against him in the US or influence the FBI's investigations. He's a crook just as much as all the other billionaires like Dangote, Odetola, Adeleke, the BUA guy etc.....

Well... you get mind dey drag customer with BA and Virgin without clean hands. Even with clean hands, they will open your file. We need to find a way to start protecting our own in Africa.
