In a remarkable display of bravery and unwavering integrity, Prince Orji Ugochukwu, an immigration officer, rejected bribes and successfully apprehended a notorious fugitive trying to flee Nigeria. The fugitive, identified as Ezeani, also known as Ichie Billion, is a depraved ritualist and serial killer accused of burying multiple victims alive in a soakaway within his compound in Umumba, Ezeagu, Enugu. According to a relative of Officer Ugochukwu, the officer was alerted to the fugitive’s attempt to flee via social media and other intelligence sources. Ugochukwu shared his account of the incident, saying, “On Wednesday afternoon, while on duty at my checkpoint in Gbaji along Seme Road, I noticed a young man on a bike wearing a face cap. His face looked familiar because I had received information and seen viral photos of a man trying to escape.” Ugochukwu further stated that the suspect tried to bribe him, offering 10 million naira, which he refused. The suspect also offered his iPhone 13 Pro Max and a Tecno Camon 19 phone, trying to convince him to let him go. However, Ugochukwu stood firm, refusing all offers. “I sent the viral pictures to my command at Seme border patrol, and upon confirming his identity, I handcuffed him and immediately moved him to the command head office,” Ugochukwu said. Even Ugochukwu’s colleagues doubted it at first because no one recognized him except him. Ugochukwu’s courageous actions prevented a notorious criminal from escaping and ensured that justice would be served. His dedication to duty and refusal to accept bribes highlight the kind of commitment that strengthens public trust and safety. As the investigation continues, this story stands as a powerful reminder that integrity and vigilance at every level of law enforcement are crucial to protecting communities from evil.
