A Nigerian lady has earned widespread admiration on social media after returning ₦300,000 that was mistakenly credited to her bank account.
Sharing her experience on X (formerly Twitter) via her handle @cocoofabuja, the woman revealed that she woke up to an unexpected alert of ₦300,000 from an unknown sender.
Although she admitted she urgently needed ₦200,000 from the money to sort out personal issues, she said her conscience would not allow her to spend funds that did not belong to her.
According to her, she continued with her daily activities until she later received a call from a woman who explained that the money was sent in error and was meant to cover her mother’s hospital bills.
Without hesitation, she requested the necessary details and promptly refunded the full amount.
She jokingly noted that her account balance returned to “default” after the refund, but emphasized that she would rather do the right thing than benefit from someone else’s pain.
@cocoofabuja shared: “Woke up this morning to an alert of 300k,I don’t know the sender neither do I remember asking anyone for money recently.
In my heart,I was excited I needed exactly 200k out of this money to sort things out but my conscience wouldn’t let me .
I went about doing my chores till a call came in, I picked and the caller introduced herself saying she mistakenly sent money to my opay and it was meant for her mum’s hospital bills,I quickly requested for her details and sent the money back bringing my account back to default 😂😂😂😂.
I needed money yes, but not at the cost of someone’s tears.
Good morning x”
