A police constable serving in Borno State Police Command, Mohammed Alhaji Muhammad, has returned ₦2.6 million mistakenly transferred into his bank account, saying the gesture was motivated by his desire to counter negative public perceptions about the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The development was confirmed by the spokesperson of the Borno State Police Command, ASP Nahum Daso, who spoke with newsmen on the development on Monday.
The constable’s action first came to public attention after a Facebook user, Bello Jafar, praised him for what he described as an uncommon display of honesty and 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,” Jafar wrote.
