“Subsequently, the money was discovered to belong to one of the accident victims,” Mr Abdullahi explained.
Abdullahi, who said he is from Jibu, applauded Mr Ibrahim for the act, despite the economic hardship and challenges in the country.
He said during the presentation of the money to the owner, Mr Ibrahim said “he was controlled by the fear of God not to take what does not belong to him, just as he would not want anyone to take what belongs to him.
“The Kuru Jibu also applauded him for his sincerity and for being a good ambassador of Jibu Chiefdom.
“This singular act is indeed worthy of emulation because even when the owner offered him some money, Ibrahim respectfully refused to accept.”
