National President of the group, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, said: "The Federal Government should wade into this matter immediately to bring it to a permanent end". Nigerians would not accept our government sitting on the fence while one its best is being destroyed with the might of a foreign country. Ebony Mayfield, a staff of Springfield Aviation Company LLC, a United States-based company, has admitted in court that no bank suffered any loss whatsoever in the transactions of Onyema. "We call on the Federal Government to immediately engage with the American government to halt this unfortunate indictment."Shettima said that Ebony Mayfield, a staff of Springfield Aviation Company LLC, a United States based company had admitted in court that no bank suffered any loss whatsoever in the transactions of Onyema.The statement read in part, "This admission, by implication, equally confirms the assertion by Onyema's lawyers that every money used in the payment for the aircraft using the letter of credit instrument was legitimately owned by Allen Onyema and his businesses contrary to the previously held notions and insinuations that he committed bank fraud by fleecing the US banks of millions of dollars."There was no victim in his transactions and no crime was ever intended."The lawyers asserted that all steps taken in respect of the Letters of Credit were therefore taken in good faith and with legitimate funds. There was no loss of funds to any person and there was no criminal intent whatsoever."Most importantly, the position of Air Peace has been reviewed by various Law Enforcement Agencies in Nigeria and no evidence of criminality has been established against either Allen Onyema or Air Peace."We are convinced and, It is very obvious that this case, at best, arose out of the clash of misunderstandings of the processes of two different financial jurisdictions, Nigeria and the United States of America."This is not enough to be allowed to be used in bringing down a man who has given his all to his nation right from his teenage years in the university to this moment."Allen Onyema laid down his life for this country in the heady days of extreme violent militancy that almost brought Nigeria to its knees by singlehandedly, in 2005, began the transformation of the Militants by bringing down to Nigeria the entire faculty of the University of Rhode Island Centre for Nonviolence and Peace Studies, USA led by the renowned Dr. Bernard Lafayette Jr at his own expense for love of country. The Nigerian government waded in to save her. "It was his efforts that enabled the Federal Government to proclaim amnesty to the militants believing that they could be transformed."He has used his blessings to intervene during critical times on behalf of his nation. "We condemn the press release that even heralded this unfortunate indictment in 2019," read the statement from the embassy. He brought pride to Nigeria and black race when he evacuated, free of charge, Nigerians of every ethnicity trapped in South Africa during the xenophobic attacks."During the COVID-19 worldwide lockdowns, he went on to evacuate Nigerians trapped in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and China who could not afford ticket fares, free of charge back to their country.
