A Good Citizen Of Nigeria Returns N 900, 000 That Was Mistakenly Paid Into His Bank Account To EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has urged the general public to be good and patriotic citizens by
reporting any money deposited mistakenly into their various accounts.

A sum of N900,000 was wrongly paid into a bank account belonging to Dr. Aliyu Usman Tilde. The EFCC said
Tilde, an academic, columnist and writer returned the money to its Gombe Zonal office after futile effort to locate the owner.

The EFCC said it only got to know through investigation that a clerk in the Federal
Ministry of Foreign Affairs mistook Tilde’s bank account for that of a lawyer handling
a brief for the Federal Ministry of Justice in a case involving its former staffer.
