A public dispute between Colleen Mero Yesufu and Rebecca Omokamo Godwin Isaac has taken a new turn, with Rebecca accusing Colleen of invading her personal life and spreading false information about her Nigerian international passport. The dispute, which began as a property matter, has now expanded to include allegations of identity theft, impersonation, and financial fraud. Rebecca claims that Colleen and her family have petitioned Nigerian authorities concerning her passport, presenting false travel records and publishing sensitive personal information online.

According to Rebecca, the campaign against her did not stop at questioning the validity of her passport. She alleges that Colleen and her family presented false and fabricated travel records in support of their petition, claiming that she had recently travelled to London and Dubai. However, Rebecca states that she last travelled to Dubai in 2022 and had not travelled to London for more than five years. This has raised concerns about the misuse of personal data and the serious risk of identity theft.

Colleen Mero Yesufu is the petitioner in a disputed Abuja property matter and is now specifically named in Rebecca's counter-petition as a person whose conduct, documents, and claimed title chain need to be investigated. Rebecca is asking why Colleen and her family have taken their campaign into an entirely different and deeply troubling territory, invading her citizenship records, travel history, personal data, and security. Rebecca questions what Colleen has to do with her Nigerian international passport and why her Nigerian citizenship has become a matter of contention.

Rebecca's counter-petition specifically asks investigators to examine how Colleen claims to have acquired Plot 4022 through Kabiru Yaro, including the agreement, consideration allegedly paid, banking evidence, witnesses, original documents, and the identity documents used to process her claimed interest. The petition also asks investigators to establish how original documents bearing the name of Amina Musa Usman came into the Yesufu chain. These questions go directly to the foundation of Colleen's claimed ownership.

An investigation by the ICPC reportedly encountered a grave problem with Amina Musa Usman, the person presented as the original allottee or root of title. According to the material available to Rebecca's lawyers, Amina Musa Usman reportedly could not be traced or independently verified. Rebecca's petition consequently asks that the complete original ICPC investigation file be obtained so that the precise findings can be established conclusively.

The dispute has now expanded into almost every part of Rebecca's life, including her land, business, bank account, family home, prosecution, reputation, and now her passport. Rebecca believes that the truth will ultimately expose the rightful claim and is urging Nigerians and institutions such as the EFCC to look beyond the noise and examine the truth of this prolonged dispute. She asks only that the facts, documents, and conduct of everyone involved be subjected to the same scrutiny.

The EFCC's own charge alleges that Richard John Idakwogi of Rychado Homes represented that he was entitled to sell Plot 4022 and caused Rebecca to pay him ₦110 million, duping her in the process. In simple terms, the EFCC's own charge portrays Rebecca not as the beneficiary of the alleged wrongdoing, but as the victim who was duped by Richard. The dispute highlights the need for a thorough investigation into the matter to uncover the truth and bring the perpetrators to justice.
