• Timothy's account was mistakenly credited with the sum of N10.8 million and he did not hesitate to do what was right
• His boss was impressed and recommended him to whoever cared to listen that Timothy is a good person

A Nigerian man identified as Timothy returned the sum of N10.8 million that was erroneously transferred to his account.

A contractor, Timothy's boss, who made the transfer by error made this known as he praised the mechanic for his honesty.

The contractor said Timothy reported himself to him over the accidental transfer as he sought to have it returned. He added that the money was for a project and did not know it was sent to the wrong account.

Giving Timothy a pat on the shoulder, the grateful contractor urged people to patronise the mechanic, saying he is a good man.

Nigerian actress, Kate Henshaw, shared the video via her verified Twitter handle wherein Timothy was publicly commended and she prayed for him never to lack favour, have long life and enjoy peace.

People on the scene hailed Timothy, with some giving him a handshake.

Nigerian man bags award for returning dollars mistakenly sent to his account

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man who returned dollars mistakenly sent to his account had bagged an award.

According to the man in a Facebook post, the money was erroneously paid into his account by a company he was working for.

He said what he did was a normal thing but our society had become so rotten that such an honest act is frowned upon. Olasupo’s act caught the attention of the Gani Fawehinmi Integrity Awards and he was given a plaque.
