The Nigerian businessman says he is ready to defend himself against multiple charges of money laundering and bank fraud before a law court.

Canadian authorities have commenced efforts to execute a corresponding arrest warrant issued for a Nigerian businessman accused of fraud in the United States.

Although Messrs Onyema and Eghagha are currently believed to be in Nigeria, judges in the U.S. have been issuing warrants for their arrest, according to court filings seen by PREMIUM TIMES. As part of a longstanding tradition on cross-border crimes, American authorities have briefed their Canadian counterparts about their case against the two Nigerians, documents said.

Buruji Kashamu, a Nigerian politician, has spent decades fighting his extradition to the U.S. on drugs charges, using Nigerian courts to frustrate the process. He was elected into the Nigerian Senate in 2015 and served a full four-year term despite several outstanding court warrants, including appellate court rulings in Nigeria and in America, for his extradition.

The indictment leveled serious charges of money laundering and foreign exchange fraud against the individuals.

Premium times, why are you bent on this news. One newspaper different headlines on one topic., na waho

Wanted in Canada in U.S from Nigerai. Una don start again abi.....

This is not looking good. This man has been very industrious. What a shame it may all end this way. If you gonna do business in the West you have to follow and obey the laws. No short cut. This isn’t crooked Nigeria . Hope he clears his name

There’s nothing here about any charge in Canada! You just rehearsed the existing case he has in America and nothing on Canada!

Mr Onyema is a shining star in very rough terrain; hopefully, his lawyers would prove his innocence. The media should be a bit circumspect, is like they find joy in this type of news. The presumption of innocence is still a legal principle.

When it rains it pours.
