According to Jafar, Muhammad, a loyal United Bank for Africa (UBA) customer, received the money in error from a Moniepoint customer. Instead of ignoring the unexpected credit, the officer immediately took steps to ensure the funds were returned to the rightful owner.

“I would like to formally express my appreciation for Mohammad Alhaji Muhammad, a police officer of exceptional integrity,” Jafar wrote. “Rather than ignoring the issue, he made deliberate efforts to identify the beneficiary bank and ensured that the funds were fully returned to the rightful owner.”
