Nigerians are shocked after news emerged that the United States Department of Justice charged the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Air Peace, Mr. Allen Ifechukwu Athan Onyema, with bank fraud and money laundering.

A press release issued by the US Department of Justice states that Onyema was involved in money laundering to the tune of more than $20 million (N7.2 billion).

Mr. Onyema has recently been in the news after he offered help to the Nigerian government to evacuate victims of Xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Here are some reactions from social media over the fraud allegations against Onyema of Air Peace underneath:

Watch out for those who will carry this Allen onyema alleged fraud case on their head like Ghana weaving. They are most likely to be those who didn't hail him for saving Nigerians from xenophobia in SA

This Allen Onyema news is a shocking one. Just when his image laundering moves started paying off his long con is exposed. Thank God they did before he 'acquired' a political office. I wish Air Peace can survive this.

Freakishly, Mr Allen onyema can do no wrong in my eyes, he was indicted though, he should be proven guilty before he starts been bashed, for all we know he is better than most politicians who steal our funds.
