Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Aviation Minister, has described CEO of Air Peace, Allen Onyema as “a profoundly good man and a patriot”, and not a fraudster.

The former minister said this on Saturday via his Twitter handle, stressing that he believes Onyema will weather the storm.

He tweeted:

”An indictment is not a conviction. An allegation remains a mere allegation until it is proven in a court of law. Allen Onyema is not a rogue or a fraudster. He is a profoundly good man and a patriot. I have no doubt that he will weather this storm and that he will be vindicated.”

On Saturday Allen Onyema made headlines after he was indicted by the US Department of Justice in an alleged bank fraud of about 44million US dollars.

OduNews.com reported earlier that the Air Peace CEO has also debunked the allegations saying he has never been involved money laundering, adding that all transactions went through the central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
