Serah Luca, a Christian woman, has returned N1 million she unknowingly took along with goods purchased from a trader at Terminus market in Jos, Plateau state capital.
Luca, a petty trader, reportedly said she made the purchase
on Friday and only discovered the hidden cash after getting home.
She said her decision to return the money was driven by fear
of God and her belief that she could not keep what did not belong to her,
especially knowing the hardship that comes with losing money in business.
“I am a petty businesswoman. I know what it means to suffer
loss. If I put that kind of money into my business, I believe God would punish
me,” Daily Trust quoted her as saying.
The trader, Abubakar Dola, who deals in polythene bags at
Terminus market, expressed surprise at the woman’s honesty, noting that he had
no idea where the money went after mistakenly placing it inside the bag she
bought.
Dola said he had planned to transfer the cash through a
point of sales (POS) operator but became worried when he could not see the
polythene bag where the money was kept.
“I mistakenly included it in what she bought. I didn’t
realise until days later, and I had already given up hope,” he said.
“For her to return it after three days is remarkable. I pray
Allah rewards her and gives us more people like her.”
