Anjola Femi, a Nigerian man who received $14k (roughly N21 million) by mistake from a foreign cryptocurrency trader, has explained why he decided to return the money.
The episode, which occurred on social media, received international attention after the dealer, @raffayalvi, publicly applauded Femi’s honesty.
The incident began when Femi took part in a cryptocurrency giveaway hosted by Rafael Alvi, a foreign dealer.
Femi was initially granted $100 worth of Solana, but she received a message from Alvi recognizing an error: instead of $100, Alvi unintentionally sent $14,000 to his account.
“My name is Anjola Femi, the guy that is known as Lucky, that is the Twitter handle @muchino67.
“So I won this giveaway on Solana, $100 worth of Solana from Rafael Alvi this morning. So, what happened was that he sent it to me.
“So, when he sent it to me, he now messaged me that he mistakenly sent 100 Solana which was $14k instead of $100. So, he requested me to hold 10 and send 90 to him in which I did…,” Femi narrated.
When asked why he returned the substantial sum of money, Femi said;
“I cannot keep the money because it is not mine. I am child of God and we all know that righteousness exalts a nation and thank God for Apostle Chris Onofua, the Kingdom Spread World Ministry general overseer. He has taught us the way of righteousness, so I am very very happy about what I did.
“He is happy, I am happy. I am just trying to show to the world that we Nigerians we are still great and also have a lot of people with integrity. I am also a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, 2017 set, chemical engineering to be precise.
“Thank you and God bless you all.”
