Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested one Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, Chief Executive Officer, Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited alongside Rogers Oluwaseyi Eruku (a.k.a Bakary Rogers Yanni), for allegedly defrauding 24 victims the sum of N68, 020, 000. 00 under the pretence of assisting them to process work visas.

The arrest followed a petition by one James Ikechukwu, who alleged that Nchekwube approached him and introduced herself as a visa consultant with Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited capable of assisting people to procure work visas to their desired countries, through her company.

The petitioner alleged that between September, 2024 and December, 2025, he contracted Nchekwube’s company (Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited) to process work visas to various countries for 20 of his clients and the sum of N57, 620, 000. 00 was transferred to her company’s accounts for processing the visas, with a promise to deliver them at a stipulated period of time.

“However, after receiving the money, Mrs Nchekwube blatantly refused to deliver the visas to my clients as agreed, rather, she converted the money to her personal use. After much persistence for her to deliver the work visas, she delivered some visas to some of my clients but to our greatest surprise, it was discovered that the visas/Offer Letters were forged to make my clients believe that they were genuine”, the petitioner said.

The EFCC stated that in the course of investigation, the suspect claimed that she gave the said money to Eruku who had presented himself to her as a reliable person capable of procuring visas for people to any part of the world, claiming that the said fake visa/Offer Letters were procured by Eruku.

Another petitioner, Oranezi David Chinedu alleged that Eruku, sometime in May 2024, offered to procure work visas for him and three of his friends to Ireland and some other countries.

Chinedu claimed that Eruku fraudulently collected N10, 400, 000. 00 for him to handover forged documents to them.

 “I was highly disappointed at the criminal act by Bakary Rogers Yanni to have collected money for visa processing purposes only to issue me and my friends fake documents”, he said.

EFFC said the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
