Auwal with the money he found
An employee of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company, Auwal Dankode, has returned the sum of $10,000 (N16 million) which he found in a plane at the Airport.
Dankode, a worker at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, was said to have found the money, which is about N16m while cleaning the aircraft.
A security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makaman, said in a post on the X platform on Wednesday that Dankode, after discovering the cash, promptly reported the incident to the airline company’s manager, initiating a search for the rightful owner.
His immediate action, according to Zagazola, has earned him widespread praise and admiration.
Zagazola said Dankode, a native of Kode in Kano State, is renowned for his strong faith in and fear of God, as well as an unwavering integrity.
His selfless act, he said, has highlighted the importance of honesty and accountability in the workplace.
Zagazola added that as investigations continue to identify the owner of the lost money, “Auwal’s actions serve as a shining example of the positive impact that even small acts of kindness can have.”
Meanwhile, X platform users have continued to commend Auwal for his honesty.
A user, identified with the handle @SuperSlimEli, tweeted, “I respect people like this. We still have good people in this country; they should be protected at all costs.”
Yaya Aba, with @Maxajee, said, “He’s God-fearing… most people would have kept mute about it and spent the money.”
