The leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has promised that he would defend Air Peace CEO, Allen Onyema on the bank fraud and money laundering allegation against him.
Kanu said he will meet people that matters most in the $20m fraud and money laundering case in the United States and defend embattled Onyema despite his lies against IPOB in the past.
During one of his recent broadcasts on Radio Biafra, the London-based activist said: “People have asked me to clarify the visit of Allen Onyema to my house. I think what I said in my last broadcast may have led to his recent investigation for fraud.
“Allen Onyema came to my house and we talked about things happening in Nigeria, including the hate speech.
“He said he wanted to see how there could be peace with our people in the North. He said we should take pictures with some people he came with and I agreed.
“All of a sudden one day he granted BBC an interview and lied against me.
“Then I reminded him that I know more about him than he can even imagine. After my statement the Fulanis went after him, they know that IPOB will not fight for him for undermining our struggle to restore Biafra’s independence. I will not ask him further questions, I believe he has learnt his lessons.
However, Kanu stated Onyema will be the last amnesty they shall grant anyone who lies against IPOB, or him, the leader of the pro-Biafra movement.
According to him: “He will be the last Amnesty we shall Grant to anybody who lies against IPOB or myself.
“We shall defend Allen Onyema and he will be the last Amnesty we shall Grant to anybody who lies against IPOB or myself.
“I will meet with people that matters most in this case in the USA. And if the FBI fails to Investigate the names we are going to submit to them, then we shall start a case of victimization with them.”
