NIGERIA (Oyo) –A woman, Mrs. Bimbola Makinde, has been rewarded by the 2 Division of Nigerian Army, Odogbo, Ibadan, on Monday for returning the N54, 000 she found to the owner.

CEOAFRICA.com gathered that the money belonged to a soldier in the division, Lance Corporal Mohammed Suleiman, with service number 96NA/42/6475.

In his chat with newsmen, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) the Division, Maj. Gen Ahmed Jibril, said that the command was moved by the gesture demonstrated by Makinde, adding that it has established the fact that we still have good people in this country.

“I feel that such a person is not an ordinary Nigerian and I strongly feel that such person should be given maximum publicity.

“The amount found is even equivalent to two months’ salary of some citizens in the country but Makinde went through pains to return the money intact.”

“So, when we see such people with the fear of God, we should celebrate them to encourage them to do more and for everyone to emulate such good virtues.

“It is with this that the division is rewarding Makinde with the sum of N54,000 to use for whatever will continue to remind her of her kind gesture.”

In her respond, Mrs. Makinde, who is a staff at Jericho Nursing Home in Ibadan, Oyo State, thanked the GOC for the reward.

 “What made me to return the money is because I have the fear of God and I want to go to heaven,” she said.
