A Nigerian woman has made an emotional public appeal for help after alleging that she lost her entire life savings of ₦18 million in what she described as a devastating visa scam involving a travel agent.
According to her account, she paid the full amount to the agent with the hope of securing a Canadian visa and starting a new chapter abroad. However, she said her dream quickly turned into a nightmare when she later discovered that the visa application had allegedly been mishandled or processed fraudulently.
The woman further claimed that Canadian immigration authorities denied her visa application and imposed a five-year ban, a development that left her shocked and devastated.
To make matters worse, she alleged that the travel agent has refused to refund the ₦18 million, despite repeated demands. The financial loss, coupled with the visa ban, has left her feeling hopeless.
In her emotional appeal, she pleaded with Nigerians to come to her aid, saying she invested everything she had into the process and now feels her future has been thrown into uncertainty.
The incident has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many users expressing sympathy for her situation. Others urged prospective travelers to thoroughly verify the credentials and reputation of immigration consultants and travel agencies before making large payments.
As of the time of writing, the allegations have not been independently verified, and there has been no public response from the travel agent regarding the claims. Authorities have also not released any official statement on the matter.
