A US District Court in Georgia has issued an arrest warrant for Ejiroghene Eghagha, Air Peace’s Chief Finance and Administration Officer, due to alleged involvement in a multi-million dollar fraud scheme
The warrant was issued on October 8.
Eghagha’s reported role in helping Air Peace owner Allen Onyema cover up fraudulent activities led to the warrant.
Onyema was charged in 2019 with bank fraud and wire fraud for allegedly using fake documents to secure credit for Boeing aircraft purchases.
Onyema created Springfield Aviation in 2016 with unqualified management and conspired with Eghagha to create a fraudulent contract, backdated to 2016.
Investigations uncovered incriminating emails, including Eghagha’s instructions to sign the contract without dating it.
As a result, Onyema, a fugitive since 2019, risks arrest and extradition if he travels to the US or allied nations.
The new charges revive the money-laundering case against Onyema, intensifying legal scrutiny on Air Peace’s operations.
