Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s camp spoke out following a report that the couple were allegedly welcomed in Nigeria by a wanted United States fugitive.
Prince Harry , Meghan Markle 's camp address claims they were welcomed to Nigeria by fugitive charged with orchestrating $20 million fraud, money laundering scheme
Onyema, 59, is the subject of a US federal indictment filed back in November 2019. He was charged in a $20 million bank fraud and money laundering case, according to the US Department of Justice. They arrived in Lagos on May 12 and were greeted by a welcoming committee that included Onyema, who supplied his Nigerian carrier to the exiled royals during their trip.
According to the DOJ, over $44.9 million was allegedly transferred into Onyema’s personal and business bank accounts that he opened in Atlanta from foreign sources between 2010 and 2018. “I never laundered money in my life, neither have I committed bank fraud anywhere in the world,” he further asserted. “Every Kobo I transferred to the US for aircraft purchase went through the Central Bank of Nigeria LC regime and all were used for the same purpose.”
