Auwalu Ahmed Dankade, a Malam Aminu Kano International Airport employee, has been hailed for his honesty in returning $10,000 uncovered while cleaning an Egyptian aircraft.
According to Dankade, who spoke with reporters from a news station, his acts were motivated by a desire to honor Allah.
The significant sum, equivalent to around N15 million, was found on Wednesday and promptly reported to his manager, ensuring its safe return to its rightful owner.
“I have been trained not to take what does not belong to me. Anything you take unlawfully, you will be held accountable for in the hereafter.
“My parents taught us to be content with whatever we have, and this upbringing made it easy for me to return the money,” said Dankade in a telephone interview with Daily Trust.
