Man sent back N2.5 mistakenly transferred to him
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.”
Eze returned and shared proofs
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. Speaking to TheTalk.NG, the man said he is happy he returned the sum.

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.”
