Enugu State Governor, Dr Peter Mbah, on Tuesday, received the heroic Immigration officer, Prince Orji Ugochukwu, who arrested the fleeing Enugu native doctor.
It could be recalled that the notorious crime suspect, Obi Levi Obieze, popularly known as ‘E Dey Play E Dey Show’, as well as Ezeani, was fleeing Nigeria when he was arrested at the Seme border in Lagos State.
He was reported to have offered N10 million to the officer, as well as an iPhone. But the officer rejected the bribe. Governor Mbah has now received him at the Enugu Government House, hailing his patriotic act.
The governor wrote on X, “I was delighted to receive Prince Orji Ugochukwu, the immigration officer who apprehended the prime suspect in the gruesome incident that occurred in Ezeagu, while the suspect was attempting to flee across the Nigerian border.
“Ugochukwu has distinguished himself as a man of integrity who, when faced with a test of character, chose duty over personal gain and upheld the honour of his uniform.
“I commended him for his patriotism, courage, and refusal to compromise his values. His actions reflect the very spirit of service we strive to instill in our institutions. He is indeed a worthy role model, and we greatly appreciate his effort.”
