EFCC Arrests Travel Agency CEO, One Other Over Alleged N68 Million Visa Fraud in Enugu

The Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, Chief Executive Officer of Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited, alongside Rogers Oluwaseyi Eruku, also known as Bakary Rogers Yanni, over an alleged visa fraud amounting to N68,020,000.

According to petitions submitted to the anti-graft agency, the suspects allegedly obtained the money from 24 victims under the pretence of facilitating work visas to different countries.

One of the petitioners, James Ikechukwu, alleged that Nchekwube presented herself as a professional visa consultant capable of securing genuine work visas through her travel agency. He stated that between September 2024 and December 2025, he paid a total of N57,620,000 to the company to process work visas for 20 clients.

He alleged that after receiving the funds, the promised visas were not delivered within the agreed period and that some of the visas and offer letters eventually provided were later discovered to be forged.

During investigations, Nchekwube reportedly claimed that she handed over the funds to Eruku, whom she described as a trusted contact capable of securing international work visas. She alleged that the fake visas and offer letters originated from him.

In a separate complaint, another petitioner, Oranezi David Chinedu, alleged that Eruku collected N10,400,000 from him and three friends in May 2024 with a promise to procure work visas to Ireland and other countries but allegedly issued them forged documents.

The EFCC disclosed that investigations are ongoing, and the suspects will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
