The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested the CEO of Goodben Global Travels and Tour, Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, and Rogers Oluwaseyi Eruku over alleged visa fraud.
The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, alleging that the suspects defrauded 24 victims under the guise of securing foreign work visas.
According to Mr Oyewale, the suspects allegedly obtained N68.02 million from the victims while promising to facilitate work visas to various countries, but failed to fulfil the agreements.
One of the petitioners, James Ikechukwu, alleged that Mrs Nchekwube introduced herself as a visa consultant and agreed to process work visas for 20 of his clients.
Mr Ikechukwu said he paid N57.62 million into the company’s accounts between September 2024 and December 2025 for the visa applications and related processing arrangements.
He alleged that Mrs Nchekwube failed to provide the visas as agreed and later supplied documents that were subsequently discovered to be forged during investigations.
“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. To our greatest surprise, it was discovered that the visas/offer letters were forged,” Mr Ikechukwu said.
During interrogation, Mrs Nchekwube reportedly claimed that she transferred the money to Mr Eruku, who presented himself as a dependable contact capable of procuring work visas.
In a separate petition, Oranezi Chinedu alleged that Mr Eruku collected N10.4 million in May 2024 to process work visas for him and three friends.
Mr Chinedu alleged that Eruku later issued fake travel and visa documents instead of facilitating the promised visas to Ireland and other destinations.
“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,” Mr Chinedu said.
Mr Oyewale said investigations into the matter were ongoing and that both suspects would be charged in court upon their conclusion.
