Man recounts how he returned over N1m credited by mistake to his account, says he saved someone's career & job

Leo Leo Umana (pictured) revealed his wonderful and honest gesture,
during this harsh economic situation in Nigeria. Recounting what
happened on social media, he wrote:

“I had a contract job with
State Universal Education Board (SUBEB). After the job completion, I was
mistakenly over-paid with sum of 1 million, Eight Thousand Naira only
(1,008,000.00). When I discovered the discrepancy, I notified the
Account Department, and I promised to refund the said amount of money.
Firstly, they were shocked by my action as a Nigerian, as it was not
discovered by the Auditors.

On 7th of December, 2016, as a true
patriot and a servant of the Most High God with the fear of God,
humanity, conscience and future: I, Mr Leo Leo Umana on behalf of
myself, my wife and kids paid the sum of ONE MILLION, EIGHT THOUSAND
NAIRA (1, 008,000.00) back into the AK-UBE ACCOUNT..

In a time
like this recession and Economic quagmire, Xmas, school fees, it would
have been very useful but I thank God for the grace and conscience to
report and

return the money. And I know, by His grace and mercy, I have
saved the man’s career and job. I am a satisfied man even in my
condition. All glory return to God.”
