Air force man returns €37,000 found in Kano market – TheNigerialawyer

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has announced that it’ll reward one
of its officers, Aircraftman Bashir Umar, for exemplary
behaviour.

The airman, according to a statement by NAF spokesperson, Air
Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, found and returned the sum of €37,000
to its owner.

“The incident occured at the Hajj Camp Market in Kano on Tuesday
16 July 2019, when ACM Bashir, who is a member of the NAF Mobile
Air Defence Team (MADT) deployed for airport security duties, while
on routine patrol with some of his colleagues, found the money in a
parcel,” Daramola said.

Umar called the phone number on the parcel and eventually handed
over the package to its owner, identified as Alhaji Ahmad.

Daramola disclosed that the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air
Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has directed the Chief of Administration
at the Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, to
immediately come up with modalities to reward the airman.

The reward, he said, will encourage others to continue to embody
attitudes and behaviours that reflect NAF’s core values of
integrity, excellence and service delivery.
