After three years of investigation involving about five agencies of the American government and the subsequent legal fireworks, the District Court in Atlanta, Georgia has finally exonerated the Chief Executive of Air Peace, Chief Allen Onyema of any business fraud.

The court, which discovered that there was no loss against any bank in the indictment suit filed by the Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, however, ordered a probation and $4000 fine against a former staff of Springfield Aviation Company Inc., Ebony Mayfield on Friday.

A statement by the law firm of Augustine Alegeh & Co., counsel to the Airline, explained that Mayfield was an istrative staff of Springfield with limited knowledge in Letter of Credit Transactions, who pleaded guilty to one count in the indictment, presumably as she realised the futility of attempting to explain several Letters of Credit utilised for purchase of aircraft for Air Peace Limited in a jury trial.

Probation, the firm explained, is the lowest possible sentence available under American Federal Law. The firm noted that there have been false and unsubstantiated press stories in Nigeria, about the indictment.

“Our clients never took loans or credit from any American Bank and Mayfield was never paid the sum of $20,000 at any time to commit any fraud, as it is being peddled by a section of the Nigerian Press.

“There was no loss of money or any damage whatsoever to any third party. The American government itted in Court that no bank suffered any financial loss in the matter.

“Mayfield, like other Springfield Aviation Company Inc. staff was only paid her bi-weekly salary and/or allowances,” it clarified.

According to the firm, the decision confirmed the position of its clients that there was no fraudulent intent in all the Letters of Credit, because there was no victim in any way, manner or form.

All the funds involved, it explained, were legitimate funds belonging to its clients.

“Our clients maintain their innocence in the matter and state that all steps taken in respect of the Letters of Credit were taken in good faith and with legitimate funds.

“All the aircrafts involved were brought into Nigeria and utilised in the operations of Air Peace Limited. There was no victim. There was no loss of funds to any person and there was no criminal intent whatsoever.

“Our client’s position has been reviewed by various Law Enforcement Agencies in Nigeria and no evidence of criminality has been established against them. Our Clients remain resolute in the assertion of their innocence,” the firm declared.

Nice one.
I some guys then saying FBI are very thorough in their investigation and that he has a high chance of being in the wrong. Good to know he is not.

Oh wow.. Tinubu should go to USA and clear himself too

Well said my brother.It is just sad. Mr Allen Onyema sacrificed a lot to help with freighting in of some essential items for the government and other logistics during the Covid-19 pandemic but same government even seized his port in a case that judgement is yet to delivered on in the US. Why is this important thread not on the front page.

Finally.
Fear Nigeria, I don't want to have dirty minds on others. Those born to hate people will push you to do so.
I when this case first came up, many Nigerians were rejoicing including the presidency. They celebrated even when the nation is drowning.

Nigerians have nothing to offer one-Nigeria, Air Peace except thick HATE.
Treat everybody equally that is the only prize for peace.

E no go beta for your papa !

Allen is just an honest businessman and a patriotic countryman trying to make a name for himself but out of envy, malice and tribalism some of his compatriots wanted to see his business destroyed.

The type of vile and bile that some Nigerians exhibited when the matter became a public knowledge was really shocking and disheartening.

Thank God he has been finally vindicated.

The igbo blood they so much hate keep soaring higher...we're unstoppable.

Agbado urchins are so despicable. Tueh

We need to start helping our selves,

Where is Abba Kyari? They should hand him over to USA.

The same way Tinubu was falsely accused of corruption, dragged to code of conduct tribunal but was latter discharged and acquitted.

Congratulations to Air peace CEO.

FAKE NEWS.

Let him step into America first.

See packaged sponsored false story from Guardian Newspapers.

Allen is a wanted man in America. He knows that.

the action of the Nigerian government under the same man against onyema was worrisome.the same government that was quick to give in against onyema and FBI , suddenly developed cold feet when the case of Abba kyri with indicting evidence was called in.

Thank God for his life I hope the US govt will also now unfreeze his $20m they seized because of this case?
