An Aircraftman of Nigerian Air Force, Mr Bashir Umar, has returned the sum of €37,000 (about N15.54m) found in a parcel at Hajj Camp Market in Kano State to the owner.

Umar, who is a member of NAF Mobile Air Defence Team deployed for airport security duties, found the parcel on last Tuesday during a routine patrol with some of his colleagues, according to the air force in a statement on Sunday.

The Aircraftman, however, returned the money, which was said to belong to one Mr Ahmad, after calling a phone number he found on the parcel.

NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Mr  Ibikunle Daramola, said Chief of the Air Staff, Mr Sadique Abubakar, had directed NAF Chief of Administration to “immediately come up with modalities to reward the airman.”

Daramola said, “The air force is set to reward one of its personnel, Aircraftman Bashir Umar, who found and returned the sum of €37,000 to Ahmad, owner of the lost money.

“The incident occurred at the Hajj Camp Market in Kano on Tuesday, when Bashir, while on a routine patrol with some of his colleagues, found the money in a parcel. Fortunately, there was a phone number on the parcel, which the airman called, and he eventually handed over the package to the owner.

“Consequently, Chief of Air Staff has directed Chief of Administration at NAF Headquarters, Mr Kingsley Lar, to immediately come up with modalities to reward the airman so as to encourage other personnel of the service to continue with attitudes that reflect the air force’s core values of integrity, excellence and service delivery.”
