Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Enugu Zonal Directorate, have arrested the Chief Executive Officer of Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited, Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, and an alleged accomplice, Rogers Oluwaseyi Eruku, also known as Bakary Rogers Yanni, over an alleged visa fraud involving more than ₦68 million.
The anti-graft agency said the suspects are being investigated for allegedly defrauding 24 victims under the guise of securing work visas to various foreign destinations.
According to the EFCC, the investigation followed a petition filed by James Ikechukwu, who alleged that Nchekwube presented herself as a visa consultant capable of processing genuine work visas through her travel agency.
The petitioner claimed that between September 2024 and December 2025, he engaged Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited to obtain work visas for 20 clients and transferred a total of ₦57.62 million into the company’s accounts for the service.
He alleged that despite receiving the funds, the suspect failed to deliver the promised visas within the agreed timeframe. Although some visa documents were eventually issued, they were later discovered to be forged, including fake offer letters purportedly issued by foreign employers.
During interrogation, the EFCC said Nchekwube claimed she had transferred the funds to Eruku, whom she described as someone who represented himself as capable of facilitating legitimate work visas to several countries. She also alleged that the forged visa documents and offer letters originated from him.
The Commission disclosed that its investigation uncovered a separate petition against Eruku by another complainant, Oranezi David Chinedu.
According to the petitioner, Eruku allegedly collected ₦10.4 million in May 2024 with a promise to secure work visas to Ireland and other countries for him and three friends. He claimed that instead of genuine travel documents, they were issued forged visa documents.
The EFCC said the combined petitions involve 24 victims who allegedly lost a total of ₦68.02 million through the suspected visa scam.
The Commission confirmed that investigations are ongoing and stated that both suspects will be charged in court upon the conclusion of its inquiries.
