The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested the Chief Executive Officer of Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited, Mrs. Chukwujindu Nchekwube, and one other suspect over an alleged ₦68.02 million visa fraud involving 24 victims.

The suspects were arrested by operatives of the EFCC Enugu Zonal Directorate following petitions alleging that they obtained money from victims under the pretence of securing work visas abroad.

The Commission disclosed this in a statement shared on its official X page on Monday.

According to the EFCC, the case was triggered by a petition from one James Ikechukwu, who alleged that he was introduced to Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited by Nchekwube, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, as a visa consultant.

Ikechukwu alleged that between September 2024 and December 2025, he contracted the company to process work visas for 20 of his clients and paid a total of ₦57,620,000 into the company’s accounts.

He claimed that after receiving the money, Nchekwube failed to deliver the visas as agreed and allegedly converted the funds to personal use.

“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 alleged.

The EFCC said that during investigation, Nchekwube claimed she transferred the funds to another suspect, Rogers Eruku, also known as Bakary Rogers Yanni, whom she said presented himself as capable of procuring visas to any part of the world.

She also alleged that the forged visas and offer letters were obtained through Eruku.

In a separate petition, another victim, Oranezi David Chinedu, accused Eruku of collecting ₦10,400,000 in May 2024 with a promise to secure work visas for him and three of his friends to Ireland and other countries.

Chinedu alleged that despite receiving the money, Eruku later issued forged documents.

“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.

The EFCC said both suspects would be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.

“The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the Commission said.
