Man returns N900K Mistakenly deposited in His Account to EFCC

The sum of N900,000 mistakenly deposited into the account of a customer in an new generation bank has being returned to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Mr. Wilson Uwajaren, the Director of Publicity, EFCC disclosed this on Monday.

According to Uwajaren, the customer named Aliyu Usman Tilde, who owned the account having done no business with anybody to warrant such credit in his account, reported the suspicious lodgment to the Gombe zonal office of the EFCC.

“The EFCC through discrete investigation discovered that the money belongs to a law firm that was engaged by the Federal Ministry of Justice in a case that involved a former staff of Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” he said.

While commending the patriotism of Tilde, the EFCC spokesman urged the public to emulate such honest attitude by reporting suspicious lodgment transaction to relevant authorities.
