The United States government has slammed additional fraud charges on the Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, accusing him of obstructing justice and conspiring to obstruct justice.

Onyema, who has denied any wrongdoing, was indicted in 2019 for bank fraud and money laundering. The new charges allege that he submitted false documents to the government to stop the investigation.

According to the US Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Georgia, “After allegedly using his airline company as a cover to commit fraud on the United States’ banking system, Onyema, along with his co-defendant, allegedly committed additional crimes of fraud in a failed attempt to derail the government’s investigation of his conduct.”

US Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan said, “Onyema’s actions show a blatant disregard for the law and a willingness to use any means necessary to avoid accountability.”

Onyema’s co-defendant, Ejiroghene Eghagha, is also facing charges of obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

The case is ongoing, and Onyema remains wanted in the United States.
