EFCC arrests 10 internet fraud suspects and travel firm CEO in Nigeria

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria detained ten individuals suspected of involvement in internet fraud in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The suspects were apprehended at two locations – God City Estate, Rumualgu, and Sam Mba Close off NTA, Akparale Road – and the agency recovered a 2006 Toyota Sienna, a Mercedes‑Benz C240, a Toyota Camry, eleven mobile phones, four laptops, ATM cards, a power bank and a Bluetooth speaker.

Separately, the EFCC also arrested Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, chief executive of Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited, and an associate, Rogers Oluwaseyi Eruku, on allegations of a N68 million visa‑fraud scheme. Prosecutors say the pair defrauded at least 24 victims by promising foreign work visas, collecting large sums, and issuing forged documents. Both suspects face charges pending further investigation.
