An employee of the Nigeria Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) Auwal Dankode, has been praised for his integrity after returning $10,000, approximately N16 million, which he found while cleaning an aircraft at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano.

According to report revealed by security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makaman, on the X platform on Wednesday, Dankode discovered the cash during his routine cleaning duties and immediately reported it to the airline company’s manager.
