Honest man whose account was mistakenly credited with GHC36k withdraws and returns it

  • An honest man, Julius, has returned the sum of GHC36,000 that was transferred into his bank account within the space of 24 hours
  • On Monday, July 12, after the man had found out who the owner was, he filled a transfer form for the wrong deposit
  • 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.

The man said the N2.5m is not his so he will return.

"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."
