Wow! Good people like this are hard to find O! Would you do the
same?
Salami Ibrahim, a staff of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO), who found and returned a wallet containing foreign currency totalling N7.3 million while cleaning an aeroplane has been rewarded for his honesty.
Ibrahim, a cabin cleaning team leader,
found the wallet containing £25,000 and €5,000 inside an aircraft at the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, (MMIA) Lagos, during a routine cleaning
exercise.
Impressed with his show of honesty, the management of Turkish Airlines has rewarded Ibrahim with an all-expenses paid return trip to Istanbul, Turkey; despite the fact that the plane in question is not one of theirs.
Managing Director of the airline in Nigeria, Ali Bulut, said: “This is an act that should be rewarded and encouraged because it is good for the aviation industry in Nigeria.
Even though the incident did not take place on Turkish Airlines’ aircraft, we are happy that it happened at least in the industry. Where I come from, good behaviour is rewarded even if it is not directly to you.
We appreciate Ibrahim so much, and this is worthy of emulation for other aviation personnel that they must be trusted at all times and that good gesture such as this will surely be rewarded.” This is the second time that Ibrahim is returning money found while cleaning aircrafts.
On September 11, 2009, he found another wallet in an aircraft containing cash and returned it to the owner. A letter of commendation was given to him by NAHCO then. He expressed gratitude to Turkish Airlines for giving him the chance for the vacation. “When I found the wallet inside the aircraft while cleaning it, I submitted it to security and airline personnel; and the passenger came to collect the wallet in my presence. I want to thank Turkish Airlines for rewarding me on this,” he said.
