Mohammad Muhammad, a police officer serving in the Borno state police command, has returned N2.6 million that was mistakenly transferred into his bank account.
While sharing a post by Bello Jafar on Facebook, Nahum Daso,
the state police spokesperson, praised the officer for showing integrity and
choosing to return the funds.
“I would like to formally express my appreciation for
Mohammad Alhaji Muhammad, a loyal customer of United Bank for Africa (UBA) and
a police officer of exceptional integrity,” he wrote.
Jafar said Mohammad’s action clearly demonstrates a rare
level of honesty, responsibility, and moral discipline.
“His conduct reflects the true values expected of a police
officer and serves as an example worthy of recognition and commendation,” he
added.
“Acts like this strengthen public trust and highlight the
importance of integrity in both professional and personal life.”
Speaking with TheCable, Daso said the accidental transfer
occurred at about 6pm on Thursday.
“The officer saw the money and was surprised because he was
not expecting that money. So he reached out to his account manager who asked
him to go to the bank. When he got to the bank he was asked to fill a form for
the reversal,” Daso said.
“The bank officials expressed surprise because what they
usually experience in such cases is that the recipients will use the money for
their own personal gain. What the officer did shows integrity.”
