RESPONDENTS
AFFIDAVIT
I, Kenny Awosika, Male, dual citizen of Nigeria and the United States; do hereby
make oath and state as follows:
1. I am the Co-founder, co-owner, and Chief Innovation Officer of Green Africa
Airways Limited (or the “Company”) and Green White Group Limited
(GWG).
2. The creation and registration of Green White Group and Green Africa
Airways was initiated by both I and Babawande Afolabi at my home address
in Maryland, USA at 11304 Appledowre Way Germantown, MD 20876.
3. As a business partner, I raised funds from seed investors, furnished the
company, hired staff, ran operations, developed technical solutions, and
funded many of the development of the company with my personal saving
up until October 2019.
4. I have in possession 5 gigabytes (5GB) of messages, documents and 5 years
of corporate emails as proof of my ownership in the company.
5. Green White Group (GWG) in Maryland (taxes paid by me, Kenny Awosika)
founded Green Africa Airways (GAA). Babawande falsified the registration
of GAA in Nigeria and did not link the companies or include my ownership
as agreed.
6. Babawande Afolabi went further by removing the existence of the company
GWG Maryland by using a Registered Agent without my authorized
signature (a loophole in the Maryland LLC registration process). He replaced
GWG Maryland with two (2) new entities, Green White Group Limited (UK)
and Green White Group Limited (Delaware) leaving me with the tax
liabilities.
7. Babawande Afolabi attempted to fraudulently transition seed investors to
the newly created GWG in the UK and Delaware without transparency to
me and seed investors.
8. Babawande Afolabi with the help of an employee Princess Likayi,
proceeded further by hacking into my domain hosting account, removing
my access to the company network, stealing the web domain names and
social media accounts I’ve financed and managed since 2013. He admitted
to doing this to the EFCC and I have proof from past employees who are
witnesses.
9. During negotiations, Babawande Afolabi made attempts to totally wipe out
my existence so that investors would not find out his fraudulent activities
by offering me $650,000 to practically disappear.
10.Upon returning to the United States for the safety of my life, my house of
10 years and the Green White Group/Green Africa Airways home office was
burnt to the ground with my family and I barely escaping with our lives;
Babawande Afolabi showed up a few hours after the fire not to wish me
condolences but to continue to pressure me to accept his unwarranted
settlement offer.
11.It is as the result of Babawande Afolabi defrauding me and seed investors,
that I observed my rights to report the case to the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) after failed negotiations. Hence submitting my
complaint to the EFCC for Babawande Afolabi, Green White Group, and
Green Africa Airways, diverting the sum of Four Hundred and Forty-seven
Thousand ($447,000) in personal and seed investor funds.
12.Like Babawande, I’ve been interrogated by the EFCC and mandated to
travel from the United States to Nigeria on two (2) occasions to physically
attend to the EFCC interviews. Each time, I’ve had to hire the Nigerian
Police for my safety and security due to threats from Babawande Afolabi’s
father.
13.Has a witness to the EFCC interviews, there were no threats, intimidation,
or harassment from the EFCC officials during the interviews.
14.Kindly note that I was never served. The “Service Address (No. 2, Ore-Ofe
Oluwa Street, Opposite CAC Theological Seminary, Opa, Ile-Ife, Osun State”
used by Babawande Afolabi is another of Babawande Afolabi’s fraudulent
approach. Babawande Afolabi was a resident of the house many years ago
with my mother who took him in as a son; Babawande Afolabi is very aware
that neither me nor any of my family members reside or have any primary
dealings with the house. As a matter of fact, I was never a resident of the
house (I left Nigeria as a child before the construction of the house was
completed) and my mother who also resides in the United States has not
lived in the house for over fifteen (15) years.
15.All artifacts, witnesses, and evidence of my complaint have been submitted
to the EFCC for criminal investigation.
16.I depose to this affidavit in good faith believing the contents therein to be
true, correct and in accordance with the Oaths of Law.
