**Abia State Governor Rewards Soldier for Role in Arresting Notorious Kidnap Kingpin** The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has recognized the contributions of Staff Sergeant Amoke Gunshot Simeon, who played a key role in the arrest of notorious Abia-born kidnap kingpin, Obioma Nwankwo, also known as 'Osisikankwu', in Aba in 2010. Nwankwo, who led a gang that terrorized Aba and surrounding areas between 2008 and 2010, was apprehended by Amoke's team, bringing an end to his reign of terror. According to reports, Amoke, a member of the Nigerian Army, was part of an operation aimed at tracking and apprehending kidnappers and criminals in Abia State. His efforts were instrumental in restoring security to the state. Governor Otti, during a visit to Amoke's country home in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Council, pledged to sponsor Amoke for overseas medical treatment to aid in his recovery from a motor accident he was involved in while on duty in the North East. Amoke, speaking to journalists after the visit, detailed his assignment in Abia, explaining that his team's role was to track kidnappers and restore peace. He recalled how 'Osisikankwu' offered him ₦50 million to continue his criminal activities, which he refused. Amoke's decision to uphold his duty and integrity has earned him respect and recognition from the people of Abia State. **A Good Job Pays, Says Amoke** Amoke recounted his ordeal, stating that his honesty and commitment to duty had brought joy to the people of Abia State. He expressed his gratitude to Governor Otti for remembering him and supporting him. "A good job pays," Amoke said. "Today, I am proud and grateful to Governor Otti for remembering me and supporting me." Amoke's injuries from the motor accident have left him with serious leg injuries, which he hopes will be treated abroad. He expressed his gratitude to Governor Otti for the support and promise of treatment. "It was actually an accident while on duty in the North East, and the initial treatment did not help," Amoke said. "I am so happy and excited that Governor Otti remembers those who fought for Abia State. His support will motivate other military personnel to serve diligently."
