Auwalu Ahmed Dankade, a staff member at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, has been commended for his integrity after returning $10,000 he found while cleaning an Egyptian aircraft.
Dankade, speaking to news correspondents, revealed that his decision was motivated by his desire to please Allah.
The substantial amount, equivalent to about N15 million, was discovered on Wednesday. Dankade immediately reported the find to his manager, facilitating its return to the 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.
