A Nigerian pastor, HRM King Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, has gifted ₦1 million to an immigration officer who rejected a ₦10 million bribe from an Enugu native doctor, identified as Ezeani, and ensured his arrest while he attempted to flee the country.
The incident was shared via the pastor’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, @daddyopm, where he also posted proof of the ₦1 million transfer.
According to reports, Ezeani had been declared wanted after he was accused of using human beings for ritual practices at his residence in Enugu. Following the allegations, enraged youths attacked and set his house ablaze.
While trying to escape the country, Ezeani reportedly offered the immigration officer ₦10 million to let him go. The officer declined the bribe, exposed his identity, and handed him over to the police.
In response to the officer’s integrity and bravery, Apostle Chibuzor publicly praised him and rewarded him with ₦1 million as a token of appreciation.
The pastor wrote:
“₦1 million clean money is better than ₦10 million blood money from innocent pregnant women and virgins. By the grace of God, I, HRM King Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, connected with the heroic immigration officer on May 30 and transferred the ₦1 million to him that same day.”
“Because this money is coming from the altar of God Almighty, there shall be an unexplainable increase and growth in your finances. You shall become great both locally and internationally.”
“Because of this act, the way other countries view Nigeria will change. Many foreign investors will come into Nigeria, invest, and create jobs for our youth because of Jesus Christ. God bless all who helped share the post and made this connection possible.”
As the story circulated online, many Nigerians took to the comment section to commend both the officer’s honesty and the pastor’s generosity.

@ProLukakuNo1: “This fanfare is so unnecessary for someone who does a covert job of securing our borders.”
@MellyWaya: “Thank you Sir for recognizing and reaching out to the officer. God will bless you more, amen.”
@SupernovaKdh: “Nice you did it. But there won’t be an increase if he doesn’t spend it well or invest it. Stop selling that crap to people we are in 2025.”
@resolute4ever: “Blessing & peace of mind is the reward of good deeds. He is deserving a lot of Nigerians wouldn’t maintain such courage.”
