As part of the upcoming Grand Civic Reception in honour of the Executive Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, the people of Isiala Ngwa have resolved to also recognize Officer Ugochukwu Orji of the Nigeria Immigration Service for his outstanding integrity and courage.
The revelation was made by Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, Co-Planning Chairman of the event and Member representing Isiala Ngwa North and South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
In his congratulatory message, Hon. Onwusibe praised Officer Orji for living up to the values of integrity and honour associated with Isiala Ngwa people and Abians at large:
“Congratulations, our dear brother. You have made us proud and shown that Isiala Ngwa people can be trusted.
We have resolved to honour you tomorrow alongside the Governor.
I have sent a request for you to be released by your office to attend the event.
We will take care of your air ticket and logistics.
We are proud of you,” he said.
Officer Ugochukwu Orji is being celebrated for rejecting a ₦10 bribe offered in exchange for the release of Mr. Levi Obieze, a fugitive native doctor from Enugu who was apprehended while attempting to flee Nigeria. Mr. Obieze has been accused of grave crimes against humanity, including allegedly burying people alive in his residence.
The honour is part of a broader effort to uplift examples of integrity and bravery within public service, reinforcing the values that define the people of Isiala Ngwa and Abia State.
