“This sudden purported indictment of Barrister Allen Onyema who has been doing business for decades in the US, and many years he has never been found wanting until now, raises fundamental questions about the wrong timing and the growing suspicion of many Nigerians over the motive behind targeting our own distinguished Allen Onyeama.

According to the National Coordinator of the group, Bagudu Joseph and secretary, Yusuf Adamu, the Air Peace Chairman is a man who believed in the unity of the country and would not be allowed to be dragged in the mud by a western conspiracy.
