Drama as man receives four colleagues’ salaries by mistake says he’ll deduct his bank charges before returning money
A young Nigerian man has shared an unusual story on social media after receiving the salaries of four of his colleagues in addition to his own for four consecutive months.
The young man, identified as @michaels_techie, took to X formerly known as Twitter to share his experience, which quickly drew attention from many online.
According to his account, the company mistakenly transferred not only his salary but also those of four other workers into his bank account. The error reportedly happened repeatedly over four months.
In his words:
My office mistakenly sent my salary and salary of 4 others to my account. I sent it back. Then this happened for 4 months straight before I told them I’ll start charging them for bank charges when I transfer back to them. I’ll still spend cos I want to return your money. I told them I’ll start charging if they continue. At the first mistake, I had to go to the bank to increase my transaction limit so I could send it back cos it was way more than my limit. Me wey broke. Buh I’ll Def not take what’s not mine.”
Despite struggling financially, he prioritized honesty and integrity and returned the funds every month.
