In a gesture that’s reigniting national pride, Dr. Ebuka Onunkwo, CEO of Seahorse Lubricants, has honored Nigerian Immigration Officer Ugochukwu Orji with a ₦5 million cash reward for upholding integrity under pressure.
Officer Orji recently became a national sensation after intercepting a native doctor, identified as Ezeani, who attempted to cross the Seme border. In an effort to secure his escape, the traditionalist reportedly offered a ₦10 million bribe along with an iPhone. Orji flatly rejected the offer, choosing duty over temptation—a decision that sparked public admiration and viral applause.
Moved by the officer’s courage and uprightness, Dr. Onunkwo hosted Orji at his residence and surprised him with a ₦5 million reward as a personal token of appreciation. The visit was reportedly filled with admiration, as the CEO praised Orji’s exemplary conduct.
The development was shared online by user @ChuksEricE, who highlighted the importance of celebrating honest public servants in a country often overshadowed by corruption scandals.
Social media users expressed a mix of admiration and skepticism. While many praised Orji and the CEO, others called for updates on the prosecution of the native doctor involved in the attempted bribery.
Despite the mixed reactions, Officer Ugochukwu Orji’s decision to reject the bribe and the generous reward that followed have become a compelling reminder that integrity still holds value—and recognition—in today’s Nigeria.
