- An honest man, Julius, has returned the sum of GHC36,000 that was transferred into his bank account within the space of 24 hours

- Many netizens said people like him are very hard to come by as they prayed that he would soon be richer than the sum
A young man, Julius Eze, has shown people the true meaning of honesty. Between Friday night, July 9, and Saturday morning, July 10, when banks are closed, he received GC36k in three batches.
The first credit alert was the sum of N500,000. Just when he was thinking about the surprise money, he got N1m the morning after. Eze was not out of the dumbfoundedness yet when another N1m came in.

Taking to Facebook on Sunday, July 11, the man shared a screenshot of the alerts' SMS as they came in.
In the post, he promised to go to the bank on Monday, July 12, and transfer the money to its owner.
In the description, the alerts carry the tag name Ekunie Nnameka Wilson. As promised, Eze went to the bank and partly wrote:
“I dey bank! It's not my money. Late Friday evening and early Saturday morning, I received alert totaling N2.5m into my access account, few hours later I was able to trace the owner.”
Julius returned and shared proof
He said that he contacted the sender and investigated to confirm the money belongs to him. Attached to the post were screenshots of forms as he readied to return the sum.
A few hours after, Eze shared debit snaps to show that the money has been sent to the person. Many Nigerians have not stopped praying for him and praising his honest act.

"Make sure you send it back to the exact account that transferred it to you. There are different ways of fraud these days, otherwise you'll answer for what you know nothing about tomorrow. Be careful. They send it to you pretending it's an error, and give you a different account details to send it back, all was planned because they already know you won't keep the money."
