Auwal Dankode, an employee of Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO), found and returned $10,000 in an aircraft at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano. Dankode came across $10,000 (approximately ₦16m) while carrying out his cleaning duties, as a Cabin Cleaner, on the aircraft.

Auwal has exhibited the core values (S I I R E E) of NAHCO PLC, his employer

NAHCO Plc Core Values
S - Safety.
I - Integrity.
I - Innovation.
R - Reliability.
R - Respect.
E - Empathy.

A security analyst and expert in counter-insurgency, Zagazola Makaman, also mentioned in a post on Wednesday on the X platform that Dankode, upon finding the money, immediately notified the airline company’s manager, commencing efforts to locate the rightful owner.

Dankode, hailing from Kode in Kano State, is well-known for his deep reverence for God and steadfast honesty, as mentioned by Zagazola.

Zagazola further stated that Dankode's altruistic gesture has emphasized the significance of integrity and responsibility in the workplace.

Moreover, as the search continues to ascertain the rightful owner of the misplaced money, Zagazola pointed out that Dankode's conduct stands as a compelling illustration of the beneficial effect that even minor acts of kindness can bring about.

Dear Nairalander, What should be done for the man - Auwal Dankode in a time like this?

He is a strong man in period like this not to pocket it and keep quiet.He should be giving minimum of 10% as honestly charges ...

I agree with you.

Even God go dey shake head for u. Like wtf ,wetin him chop. Cause this is not normal. I go trade am ,use am chop 500k,go live ,make the owner locate me.,give am 20k. Jesus dey weep on a daily.

He really did well. Especially at the time that people don't care about their integrity

leaders are stealing billions in broad day light without consequences,this one retirement money but rejected it….He won’t make it again,sad reality!

Honesty is okay.

But sometime the owner should learn how to keep their stuff properly.

Cos not all Nigerians will returned that said amount, they rather face the consequences than returned the money

Zonefree it can never be you

Reward him with at least 10% of that money.

He deserves more than that sef.

Maybe one careless Mallam polithiefcian dropped it, money he wanted to go give one small yarinya in abuja...

10k usd no be small money for naira now o.. 16million naira things.

Obooy.. Anyways make Allah bless you

Good heart in bad times. Truth is if I were in his shoe, I would not return the money. Imagine part of our stolen money finding its way to me and all I can think is to return it. No be 9ja again, after handshake and thank you, nothing for the poor boy. I fit dey pity my fellow poor man, but no be with the rich. The rich no send we poor men for 9ja.

What he did is Norma, same thing I would to do if I was the one that found the money... All these news makes it look like we all thieves

Nah Wah oo


U don't need to be saint to do that, it's normal

Nice one... Keep it up

Things are hard, but he really tried to avoid temptations

This is a kind gesture...we have great and honest people in this country but unfortunately they are minority...similar thing happened to me last money ...God bless all honest people in Nigeria and all over the world

We still have good hearted people in this country

Honesty

An honest man. Quite rare to find.
Should he be compensated for doing whats right? I leave that to the owner to decide. Its not compulsory.

However, in a nation where morals and values have been eroded, these kind of people should be promoted.

I am a Yoruba guy and I have traveled to 17 States in Nigeria, and beloved, I tell you with utmost sincerity that, there’s no where or region or tribe or ethnicity where you can see or find a large percentile of Morally Upright, God-Fearing, Honest, Truthful & Comionate people except from the Hausa People & Community.

I repeat, HAUSA (Not Fulani).

If this money was found by a person from my ethnicity or from the ethnicity of those People where they usually kick their Parents in the Blokos to wake them up from sleep or to say good Morning; my brother, we wouldn’t be reading about this news today.

They would have said “Shuku-Shuku Okike Michael Jackson” dropped it like it’s hot from Heaven - for them as a blessing.

AUWAL DANKODE; you’re indeed a rare gem. May you be rewarded bountifully by the Almighty for your Integrity & Altruism.

Modified: Hahaa! They are already here. Our “BLODAS” from the other side have already begun castigating AUWAL DANKODE for throwing away a lifetime opportunity. They are very predictable.

Staged.

He threw away a gift from God to be financially independent a wasted opportunity

Give him 10% for doing what he is supposed to do? for not stealing what doesn't belong to him? Really?

It is like compensating thieves for not stealing.

exactly

I am tired of some people's thought process. Thats the same thinking they take into government and start compensating militants and bandits for dropping arms.
