The warrant was signed by Justin Anand, an American magistrate of the United States District Court of the Northern District of Georgia, on November 19. The warrant authorised U.S. Marshals Service to take Mr Onyema into custody.seen at Transcorp Hilton in AbujaThe U.S. and Nigeria have a mutual legal assistance policy that allows both countries to extradite suspects facing criminal charges. Several Nigerians have been sent to the U.S. to stand trial for alleged fraud.
Mr Onyema was indicted on Friday for allegedly laundering suspicious funds in excess of $20 million dollars in the U.S. Ejiroghene Eghagha, Air Peace’s head of finance and administration, was also indicted and an arrest warrant issued equally against him. The allegations also included how Mr Onyema facilitated fraudulent letters of credit to American banks to procure aircraft, equipment and luxury goods.
I will see if US will hand over an American indicted by Nigeria for any crime one day.
Hmmm i think they have enough proof before this was done... let's see how the case will run out in court... since he claim innocent I hope he can prove that as well and show to the world he is clean. Hope Nigeria security agencies can see how a working system run operations?
This man is more than $20m. Was this money collected as air ticket fees and was being brought to Nigeria? The U.S. should give details. Many foreign companies in Nigeria are repartrating monies to their own countries on daily basis without issues. This is one of a few patriots
They want his money and humiliate him. We have seen this phenomenon a thousand times.
This Yeye US self.
Hahaha.... Igbo kwenu... I salute you people...
Before US indicts they must have carried out a thorough investigation
Igbo kwenu
I told someone this last month that for bringing his brothers home this man will get into trouble las las u can see it
Tbh, 6hrs ago this was definitely stale news. Definitely not exclusive
On no account should this legitimate business men be extradited to the United States. US seeks to destroy their flourishing business. How many Americans have extradited to face charges in Nigeria.
is not narrating this episode with any sense of responsible patriotism. From the headlines to the narratives, one will deduct bias and imagine a convicted fraudstar. You are professionals and fully aware of the narrative you are ingesting the Nigerian public.
Sad! Are Nigerians biz men running legit biz on illegit fund. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

Sad development
Stop emotional sentiment and face the facts.soon you will want Nigeria to be like America and you can't do what it's takes
This is why is not go to show any kindness to this country Nigeria that is we’re his kindness land him now what about the politicians you can’t bring him down
I don't get why the American government is investigating foreign nationals since they claim in the impeachment hearing that Americans shouldn't be investigated by foreign nations. Nobody country should have the monopoly of investigations
Go and arrest him
Fake news
Darm!!!😳😳
This propaganda can’t stand. Foreign airline owners are intimidated by Onyeama’s rapid growth and he stands as a threat to all of them making life difficult for Nigerian Travelers by extorting so much money on Nigerians in the name of cost of flight tickets (PRICE)
Wow... thought this was just a news in the wind
