The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested the Chief Executive Officer of Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited, Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, alongside an alleged accomplice, Rogers Oluwaseyi Eruku, also known as Bakary Rogers Yanni, over an alleged N68.02 million work visa fraud involving 24 victims.
The EFCC’s Spokesman, Dele Oyewale, who made the disclosure yesterday, said that operatives of Enugu Zonal Directorate of the agency apprehended the suspects following petitions alleging that they collected huge sums from victims under the guise of facilitating work visas to different countries, but allegedly issued forged visa documents and offer letters.
One of the petitioners, James Ikechukwu, alleged that Nchekwube introduced herself as a visa consultant capable of securing work visas for intending travellers through her company.
He said between September 2024 and December 2025, he engaged Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited to process work visas for 20 of his clients and transferred a total of N57.62 million into the company’s accounts for the purpose.
However, he alleged that despite receiving the money and promising to deliver the visas within an agreed timeframe, the suspect failed to fulfill the agreement and allegedly diverted the funds for personal use.

Ikechukwu further claimed that although some visa documents and offer letters were eventually handed over to some of the applicants after persistent demands, they were later discovered to be forged.
During investigations, Nchekwube reportedly told investigators that she handed the money to Eruku, whom she claimed had presented himself as someone capable of procuring genuine visas to countries around the world.
She also alleged that the fake visas and offer letters supplied to the victims were obtained through Eruku.
In a related development, another petitioner, Oranezi David Chinedu, accused Eruku of collecting N10.4 million from him and three of his friends in May 2024 with a promise to procure work visas to Ireland and other countries.
Chinedu alleged that after receiving the money, Eruku provided them with forged travel documents instead of genuine visas. Oyewale said investigations are ongoing and that the suspects would be charged to court upon conclusion of the investigation.
