An employee of a handling company at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano, Auwalu Ahmed Dankade, returned $10,000 that he found while cleaning an aircraft. He stated that his motivation for returning the money was to please Allah.
The amount, which is approximately N15 million, was discovered on Wednesday afternoon in an Egyptian aircraft. Dankade promptly reported it to his company manager, which led to the identification and return of the money to its rightful owner.
Daily Trust quoted Dankade to have said, “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.”
Sources at the airport indicated that Dankade would be invited to Lagos by his employers on Friday, likely to receive a reward for his honesty and exemplary conduct.
