Ahmed Adebowale, an undergraduate of the University of Ilorin, has returned N500,000 mistakenly sent to him by an unknown person.

Adebowale told FIJ he got the money in his Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) account on December 24 from one Oladejo David Damila.

He said although he was bothered about the source of the money, he couldn’t visit the bank to complain because it was during a public holiday.

“I woke up that morning to see a credit alert of N500,000. I was shocked because I was not expecting such an amount from anyone at that point in time,” he told FIJ.

“I was also bothered as I couldn’t formally complain at the bank due to the public holiday. However, I kept my cool and was expectant.”

Adebowale said the following day, he received a call from whom he assumed to be the sender and then made him verify his identity before agreeing on a refund plan.

“I got a strange call from someone who claimed to have sent the money mistakenly. I asked him for proof that he sent the money to me,” the student said.
