Airforce Officer rewarded for returning lost 37,000 Euros

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to reward one of its personnel, Aircraftman (ACM) Bashir Umar, who found and returned the sum of 37,000 Euros to Alhaji Ahmad, the owner of the lost money.

The incident occurred at the Hajj Camp Market in Kano on Tuesday 16 July 2019, when ACM Bashir, who is a member of the NAF Mobile Air Defence Team (#MADT) deployed for airport security duties, while on routine patrol with some of his colleagues, found the money in a parcel.

Fortunately, there was a phone number on the parcel which he called and eventually handed over the package to the owner.

Consequently, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has directed the Chief of Administration at the Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, to immediately come up with modalities to reward the Umar so as to encourage others.
