Abia Governor Praises NIS Officer for Rejecting ₦10 Million Bribe from Ritual Killer
In a remarkable display of integrity, Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has publicly commended Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) officer Ugochukwu Orji for rejecting a ₦10 million bribe offered by a native doctor implicated in ritual killings.
The incident unfolded when Orji apprehended the suspect, identified as Mr. Levi Okoro, who was attempting to flee the country. Upon his detention, Okoro allegedly offered the substantial sum to Orji in exchange for his release. Demonstrating unwavering commitment to justice, Orji declined the bribe, ensuring the suspect remained in custody.
Governor Otti lauded Orji's actions, highlighting the officer's dedication to upholding the law and resisting corruption. This commendation aligns with Otti's administration's stance on zero tolerance for corruption and misconduct, as evidenced by previous actions such as the suspension of the state's Commissioner for Health over alleged misconduct .
The governor's praise underscores the importance of ethical conduct within public service and sets a precedent for other officials to emulate. It also serves as a reminder of the critical role law enforcement plays in maintaining societal order and justice.
