“Nigeria still has heroes. Ugochukwu stood for justice when money tried to buy silence.” - Chief Onunkwo.

In a powerful display of gratitude, patriotism, and for integrity, Chief Dr. Ebuka Onunkwo, the industrialist and Chairman/CEO of Seahorse Lubricant Industries Ltd., on behalf of Seahorse Lubricant Industries Limited has honoured Prince Ugochukwu Orji, the Immigration Officer who bravely apprehended the infamous Enugu-based ritualist, with a cash gift of ₦5,000,000.00.

The presentation was made at Chief Onunkwo’s country home in Umuabo, Ihembosi, Anambra State, where he hosted the gallant officer to celebrate his courage and outstanding sense of duty. Prince Ugochukwu Orji, an Abia-born officer serving at the Nigeria - Benin Republic border, had resisted a series of bribes that eventually rose to ₦15 million - offered by the now-apprehended killer in a desperate bid to escape justice.

“Nigeria still has men of honour,” Chief Onunkwo declared. “Ugochukwu stood in the gap when it mattered. In a system where many are tempted to sell their conscience, he chose to uphold the law. Seahorse is giving him ₦5 million not just to appreciate his bravery but to encourage a culture of truth and ability in our nation.”

According to Ugochukwu, he was on duty when the suspect, Mr. Levi Obieze (Mazi Ezeani), a man already wanted for serial ritual killings and burying victims alive, ed by on a motorcycle. Something about his face struck a chord, and without delay, Ugochukwu trailed him discreetly to the next checkpoint.

“I stopped him and confronted him with his photo. He denied at first, saying it was his brother. But I insisted. He then tried to bribe me - ₦3 million… then ₦7 million… ₦10 million… eventually ₦15 million, with his wife promising to send the money. I pretended to cooperate just to detain him without raising alarm. When I confirmed with my superior that he was indeed the wanted man, I handcuffed him and recovered voice notes from his phone that revealed attempts to erase his tracks.”

Moved by the integrity of the officer, Chief Dr. Onunkwo used the opportunity to call on the Nigerian government and the Immigration Service to recognize and reward Ugochukwu with a well-deserved promotion, noting that such commendable actions must not go unnoticed.

“I urge the Nigerian Immigration Service to look into this case and consider rewarding Ugochukwu officially. Let this be an example to others - that honesty is not only possible in this country but it also pays. Our system must start celebrating people who choose integrity over impunity,” he said.

Dr. Onunkwo also called on well-meaning Nigerians, civil society organisations, and the Federal Government to spotlight Ugochukwu’s bravery and use his story as a campaign for ethical leadership and national transformation.

“God will not forgive anyone who participated in the evil that this man committed,” Onunkwo added. “Whether directly or by aiding his escape - justice must be served, and those like Ugochukwu who stand for justice must be honoured.”

The story of Prince Ugochukwu Orji serves as a beacon of hope, a reminder that even in dark times, courageous Nigerians still rise to protect the innocent and uphold the law.

As the nation reflects on the horror of the crimes uncovered, today also reminds us that heroes still walk among us - and thanks to people like Chief Dr. Ebuka Onunkwo, their sacrifices won’t go unnoticed.

Nice one. A good name is better than silver and gold.

If this wicked man had escaped, he will still use another person for ritual... wherever he goes

Good one from Mr Onunkwo, the other man would have been twitting that the man should be released that he is innocent. Agulu

The colleagues of this custom officer will now start envying him including even his superiors. He should be very careful his situation is even worse being an Igbo man.

Well, enjoy ur hard earned 5M due to ur deligence and hard work in peace of mind amd happiness insted of accepting the bribe of 10M and continue to live in regrets!

Nice gesture.
