Why I returned $10,000 I found inside aircraft — Kano Airport cleaner
An employee of a handling company at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, Auwalu Ahmed Dankade, who returned $10,000 he found while cleaning an aircraft, has said that his motivation is to please Allah.
The sum, equivalent of approximately N15million, was found on Wednesday afternoon in an Egyptian aircraft, and Dankade immediately reported the discovery to his company manager, leading to the identification and return of the money to its owner, reports Daily Trust.
In a telephone interview with the newspaper, Dankade said, “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.”
Sources at the airport hinted that Dankade would be invited to Lagos by his employers on Friday, possibly to receive a reward for his honesty and exemplary conduct.
