Mohammad Muhammad, a police officer serving with the Borno State Police Command, has returned ₦2.6 million that was mistakenly credited to his bank account.
The officer’s action was praised by Nahum Daso, the state police spokesperson, who shared a post by Bello Jafar on Facebook highlighting Mohammad’s integrity.
“I would like to formally express my appreciation for Mohammad Alhaji Muhammad, a loyal customer of United Bank for Africa (UBA) and a police officer of exceptional integrity,” Daso wrote.
Jafar noted that Mohammad’s conduct demonstrates a rare level of honesty, responsibility, and moral discipline.
“His actions reflect the true values expected of a police officer and serve as an example worthy of recognition and commendation,” he said. “Acts like this strengthen public trust and highlight the importance of integrity in both professional and personal life.”
Speaking with the media, Daso explained that the accidental transfer occurred around 6 p.m. on Thursday.
“The officer was surprised to see the money as he was not expecting it. He immediately contacted his account manager, who instructed him to visit the bank. Upon arrival, he filled out a form to reverse the transaction,” Daso said.
He added, “The bank officials were surprised because, in most cases, recipients tend to use such funds for personal gain. What the officer did demonstrates true integrity.”
