The Niger Delta Rights Advocates (NDRA), a political pressure group, has commended Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) officer Ugochukwu Orji for rejecting a N10 million bribe from suspected ritualist Levi Onyeka Obu, who attempted to flee the country.
Obu, who fled Enugu State after vigilantes uncovered human remains, including those of a pregnant woman, buried at his residence, was intercepted by the NIS while trying to escape. NDRA hailed Orji’s actions as a “rare display of patriotism and honour.”
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Bright Ngolo, NDRA called for an automatic promotion for Orji to encourage other officers across Nigeria’s five paramilitary agencies and security services to prioritize national interest over personal gain. The group expressed optimism that such acts signal hope for a better Nigeria.
NDRA also praised the Ministry of Interior for deploying advanced security measures at land borders and international airports to combat cross-border crime and protect Nigeria’s territorial integrity. Additionally, the group lauded the Nigerian media for highlighting the patriotic efforts of selfless citizens.
