EFCC Arrests Goodben Global Travels CEO Chukwujindu Nchekwube, Alleged Accomplice Over N68.02m Fake Visa Scam in Enugu
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested the Chief Executive Officer of Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited, Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, and her alleged accomplice, Rogers Oluwaseyi Eruku, popularly known as Bakary Rogers Yanni, over an alleged N68.02 million fake visa scam involving 24 victims in Enugu.
The arrest was carried out by operatives of the EFCC’s Enugu Zonal Directorate following petitions alleging that the suspects collected millions of naira from unsuspecting victims under the pretext of securing work visas to various countries.
According to the EFCC, one of the petitioners, James Ikechukwu, stated that Nchekwube presented herself as a visa consultant capable of facilitating genuine work visas through her company, Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited.
He alleged that between September 2024 and December 2025, he entrusted the company with processing work visas for 20 of his clients and paid a total of N57.62 million into the company’s bank accounts, with the expectation that the visas would be delivered within the agreed timeline.
However, he claimed that after receiving the funds, Nchekwube failed to provide the promised visas and allegedly diverted the money for personal use.
According to the petitioner, after repeated demands, some visas and offer letters were eventually issued to a few of the applicants, only for the documents to later be discovered to be forged.
During investigations, the EFCC said Nchekwube claimed she transferred the money to Eruku, whom she described as someone who had portrayed himself as having the capacity to procure genuine work visas to destinations around the world.
She also alleged that the forged visas and employment offer letters given to the victims were supplied by Eruku.
In a separate petition, another victim, Oranezi David Chinedu, accused Eruku of collecting N10.4 million from him and three friends in May 2024 with the promise of securing work visas to Ireland and other countries.
Chinedu alleged that instead of genuine travel documents, Eruku provided forged visas and related documents.
The EFCC said investigations are ongoing and disclosed that both suspects will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of its investigation.
