 “No electricity, no vote,” South Africans threaten to shun ruling party ANC Residents in Katlehong, a township outside Johannesburg, have resolved to boycott South Africa's upcoming local elections on November 4 due to long-standing failures by authorities to provide basic services like electricity. For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity. Our children cannot progress without electricity." "I was born ANC, but today I do not want anyone to tell me about the ANC because I am suffering," added 57-year-old resid...

 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.
