24 Job Seekers Duped As EFCC Nabs Travel CEO, Accomplice for N68m Visa Fraud

By Joseph Sunday 

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Enugu Zonal Directorate have arrested Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, CEO of Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited, and Rogers Oluwaseyi EFCC, also known as Bakary Rogers Yanni, over alleged visa fraud totaling N68,020,000.

According to the EFCC, petitioner James Ikechukwu said Nchekwube presented herself as a visa consultant who could secure work visas to various countries through her firm. Between September 2024 and December 2025, Ikechukwu paid N57,620,000 into Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited’s accounts to process visas for 20 of his clients, with assurances they would be delivered within an agreed timeframe.

After receiving payment, Nchekwube allegedly failed to deliver the visas and instead converted the funds for personal use. Under pressure, she provided some visas and offer letters, which were later discovered to be forged.

During investigation, Nchekwube told EFCC operatives she handed the money to Eruku, who had convinced her he could procure visas worldwide. She claimed Eruku supplied the fake documents.

In a separate complaint, Oranezi David Chinedu alleged that Eruku collected N10,400,000 in May 2024 to obtain work visas to Ireland and other countries for himself and three friends. The documents he received were also forged.

EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale confirmed both suspects are in custody and will be charged to court once investigations are concluded.
