Such a relief to discover that the Nigerian Immigration still boasts of members who wouldn’t compromise the principle of the force for several millions.
One of such staunch and principled officers is the courageous Immigration Officer, Prince Orji Ugochukwu (known on Facebook as Okeosisi Ugo), who to the utmost surprise of everyone firmly turned down a bribe of โฆ10 million and an iPhone from the notorious fugitive serial killer who was attempting to flee Nigeria to evade justice for his heinous crimes.
The suspect, Ezeani also known as Ichie Billion, “E dey play, E dey show” is a ritualist accused of burying multiple victims alive in soakaway pits at his residence in Umumba, Ezeagu, Enugu State.
Officer Ugochukwu in an exclusive interview detailed how Obieze was apprehended and how he attempted to bribe his way out of the country.
Excerpt:
โOn Wednesday afternoon, while discharging my duty at my checkpoint in Gbaji along Seme road, I saw bike carrying a young man, who was wearing a face cap, his face flashed back in me , because I got an information about the man trying to escape plus his picture that has been going viral on social media.
“So, I tried to stop the bike carrying him but he refused to stop. I quickly jumped another bike and followed him immediately, and I caught him at the other immigration checkpoint in front. I ordered the bike man carrying him to turn back, but this time I entered the bike together with him.
On our way back to my checkpoint, he stopped the bike and started asking me what he did I brought out my phone and showed him his pictures and the crime he committed, he denied that the person in the picture was his brother and not him, that he was coming back from bank in Agbara and he is not a native doctor.
Aafter some time, he decided to offer me 10 million naria ( bIood money) to let him go, I refuse to collect his blood money, he said that, he never committed those crime, that people set him up, because it was his turn to become the igwe of their community. I refuse to let him go, he further added his iPhone 13 promax and Tecno camon 19. He said that his iPhone 13 promax worth a million naria and that I should please let him know go, but I refuse his offer and force him back to my checkpoint at Gbaji Seme road.
Then, I snapped him those pictures going viral online and sent signal to my command which is Seme border patrol command.
When I confirmed that he was truly the one, I quickly handcuff him and move him to our command head office immediately. Even my colleagues were doubting because nobody recognised him except me.โ
