Timothy, a trustworthy individual, refunded the KSh 3 million that had been improperly transferred to his account.
This was revealed as Timothy’s supervisor, a contractor, lauded the technician for his honesty. The contractor had transferred Timothy by mistake.
According to the contractor, Timothy approached him after the mistaken transfer and asked to have it returned.
The money was for a project, he said, and for some reason he had not realized it had been sent to the incorrect account.
The grateful contractor gave Timothy a pat on the shoulder and advised people to support the mechanic since he is a decent man.
Using her verified Twitter account, Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw posted the video in which Timothy was applauded in public.
She prayed for him never to lack favour, have long life and enjoy peace.
God bless Mr Timothy, who returned N10.8M naira that was mistakenly transferred to him.
You will not lack favour, peace, and long life. pic.twitter.com/iOTPz0I7iJ— Kate Amaka Henshaw (@HenshawKate) March 20, 2023
