NPF Mournes The The Passing Of DCP Khan Salihu

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, on behalf of the officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force, described the loss as deeply painful. He recalled DCP Khan Salihu as a dedicated, disciplined, and professionally accomplished officer whose administrative acumen, loyalty, and commitment to duty distinguished him throughout his career and significantly enhanced the efficiency of the Lagos State Police Command.

IGP Disu extended heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased, and to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Tijani Olaiwola Fatai, psc, mnips, and the officers and men of the Command. He prayed that Almighty God grant the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss and the departed officer eternal rest.

The Nigeria Police Force wishes to state categorically that DCP Khan Salihu was never kidnapped at any time before his demise. Before his passing, he briefly complained of feeling unwell and was immediately rushed to the hospital for urgent medical attention, where he was sadly confirmed dead on arrival.

Reports circulating in certain media outlets alleging that he was kidnapped by suspected criminals before his death are entirely false, misleading, and a complete fabrication with no basis in fact.

The Force finds such reckless and unverified publication deeply disturbing, particularly at a time when his family, colleagues, and the entire Force are in mourning. The Nigeria Police Force demands the immediate withdrawal of the false report and urges the media organisation concerned to issue a public correction and apology in the interest of truth and professional responsibility.

Members of the public are advised to disregard such reports entirely and rely only on information released through official channels.

May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

EFCC Arrests CEO, One Other For Alleged N68m Visa Fraud In Enugu

Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested one Chukwujindu Goodness Nchekwube, Chief Executive Officer, Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited alongside Rogers Oluwaseyi Eruku (a.k.a Bakary Rogers Yanni), a suspected fraudster, for allegedly defrauding 24 (Twenty-four) victims the sum of N68, 020, 000. 00 (Sixty-eight Million, Twenty Thousand Naira) under the pretence of assisting them to process work visas.

A petitioner, James Ikechukwu, alleged that Nchekwube approached him and introduced herself as a visa consultant capable of assisting people to procure work visas to their desired countries, through her company, Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited.

He further alleged that between September, 2024 and December, 2025, he contracted Nchekwube’s company (Goodben Global Travels and Tour Limited) to process work visas to various countries for 20 (Twenty) of his clients and the sum of N57, 620, 000. 00 (Fifty-seven Million, Six Hundred and Twenty Thousand Naira) was transferred to her company’s accounts for processing the visas, with a promise to deliver them at a stipulated period of time.

“However, 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. After much persistence for her to deliver the work visas, she delivered some visas to some of my clients but to our greatest surprise, it was discovered that the visas/Offer Letters were forged to make my clients believe that they were genuine”, the petitioner alleged.

In the course of investigation, the suspect claimed that she gave the said money to Eruku who had presented himself to her as a reliable person capable of procuring visas for people to any part of the world. She claimed that the said fake visa/Offer Letters were procured by Eruku.

In a curious twist, another petitioner, Oranezi David Chinedu alleged that Eruku, sometime in May 2024, offered to procure work visas for him and three of his friends to Ireland and some other countries.

He claimed that the total money fraudulently collected by Eruku for the visas was N10, 400, 000. 00 (Ten million, Four hundred Thousand Naira), only for him to handover forged documents to them. “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”, he said.

The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
