He added that Timothy looked quite ill when he saw him and that the mechanic told him he has a headache.

Chinonso expressed displeasure that the contractor rewarded Timothy with only N50k. He wrote:

"Before going on TV i went to my mechanic to ask him about what I saw all over the Internet yesterday. He has been serving me very well. So when I read that he returned 10.8 million to one of his customers i was impressed. Today when I saw him he was quite ill . He said he is having headache. The man that he returned his money gave him N50,000.00. People can be really unimaginable. Behold!"

Social media reactions

"He did what he was supposed to do. The money does not belong to him. If you spend it, you will surely pay back a hundred times. So be warn. There is a reason for every action. Use your own well."

"50k is OK because if He didn't returned the money mistakenly sent to his account by his customer, the customer knows he mistakenly sent the money to his account wrongly and he will be arrested if he spend the money. His identity is well know to the owner of the Money."
