Presidency Reacts As Enugu Housewife Returns N14m Mistakenly Sent To Her Bank Account

• Presidency Reacts As Enugu Housewife Returns N14m Mistakenly Sent To Her Bank Account 

An Enugu woman identified as Josephine Nchetaka Chukwujama Eze, has attracted the attention of many Nigerians on social media after she returned approximately N14 million wrongly paid into her account.

Her husband, Chukwujama Eze, a journalist-turned lawyer showered praises on her declaring her a heroine.

He wrote:

“In my emotional reckoning, my wife has creditably discharged and acquitted herself not only as a worthy companion of high credibility, but an honest Nigerian worthy of emulation. Why?

“This mother of my three children received a credit alert of almost N14 million from an unknown source and exhibited what will make me eternally proud of her integrity. What happened? At exactly 4.50pm on Monday August 3, 2020, my own jewel of inestimable value was in her friend’s hair salon where a substantial percentage of my wealth stream regularly flows. Suddenly, her mobile phone beeped an alert.”

“At first”, she later recalled, “I didn’t check my phone as I dismissed it as one of those unsolicited messages with which network providers inundate hapless Nigerian subscribers.”

“After some time, she casually scrolled through her phone and what she saw was eye-popping. Behold, it was an online transfer of, wait a minute, N13,946,400 from Sankiya Global Investment Ltd.”

“What? Sankiya who? Nearly N14 million! For what purpose? She couldn’t believe her eyes. ‘I’ll call my husband immediately,’ she told herself. And she promptly did. Of course, my wife was not surprised that her husband’s answer accorded with her already waiting thoughts. After all, birds of the same feather flock together.”

“You don’t know Sankiya, and you have no transaction with the company,’ her husband reasoned with her over the phone. ‘So, we’ll return the strange money to your bank tomorrow.’ Her reply? ‘We would have done so today if it were within banking hours.’ A consensus ad idem (meeting of minds) between husband and wife was complete. And so it came to pass that in the morning of the following day, off we set out to the Zik Avenue.”

Reacting to the development, President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Lauretta Onochie lauded Mrs Nchetaka for her honesty.

She tweeted:

“Enugu housewife returns N14m paid into her bank account in error

An Enugu housewife, Josephine Nchetaka Chukwujama Eze, has promptly returned approximately ₦14 million erroneously paid into her account. In spite of the current global economic conditions, integrity is integrity.”
