Following allegations of money laundering, bank fraud, and credit application fraud against the Chairman and CEO of Air Peace Airline, Allen Onyema by the US government, in relation to the purchase of Aircraft, Aircraft spares and Aircraft maintenance, the airline boss has through his lawyers, Alegeh & Co, denied the money laundering allegations against him.
In a statement signed by the law firm, Onyema denied the claims, stating that he was ready and determined to defend himself in court.

“The allegations are unfounded and strange to him. Allen Onyema has a track record built on honesty and integrity and will take all necessary steps to clear his good name and hard earned reputation.
“He looks forward to an opportunity to rebut these allegations in Court.”
Alegeh & Co. is renowned for its commitment to resolving complex legal problems and has earned its reputation as one of Nigeria’s foremost litigation firms.
