Man accidentally transfers N5m instead of N50k to recipient

In a heartening display of integrity, an individual identified as @maziechidiime on Twitter, who hails from Nigeria, recently returned a massive sum of N5 million to his client who had mistakenly transferred the amount to him instead of the intended N50,000.

As per his account, the man had carried out a job worth N50,000 for the client. However, due to an error on the client's part, an amount of N5 million was transferred instead. The man was taken aback when he received the unexpected transfer and left the money untouched in his account for six hours before reaching out to the client. Upon contacting the client, he was informed of the mistake, and the client requested his account details to facilitate the refund. The man promptly obliged and returned the entire amount. In a selfless act of honesty, he declined the client's offer of an additional N40,000 as a reward for his integrity.

Social media users have been quick to commend the man's remarkable actions, lauding his honesty and praising his refusal to be swayed by greed. Many have described him as an inspiration, with some stating that his story should encourage others to always strive to do what is right.

The incident is a heartwarming reminder that honesty and integrity still exist in today's world and that it is possible to do the right thing, even when the circumstances seem to favor dishonesty. The man's actions have served as a beacon of hope and a shining example of what can be accomplished when individuals choose to act with honor and dignity.

Last week a client mistakenly credited my account with the sum of amount of 5,000,000 instead of 50,000 Naira I guess he never checked his debit alert after processing the transaction, I actually allowed the money to rest in my account before refunding him back, pic.twitter.com/CNdLjx85oq
