Years ago, a company in Lagos paid millions into my account, I went to withdraw my salary, and I saw 20 million in my account.
I first shock, I use earring count the zero maybe eyes dey pain me.
I went to get my bank statement and pleaded with the customer care to get the contact of who made the transfer, she refused and insisted that I sign one document for a refund and I refused knowing how terrible banks are with large sums. I didn't want problems.
I got the name of the company and travelled from ilorin to Lagos to explain what transpired so they can get their money because bank done dey chuk eye for the money.
Immediately, the bank froze my account. I couldn't even remove my own money🤦♀️🤦♀️
I got to the company gate and security said I can't go in, except I am invited by a staff. I was careful not to tell why I came, make them no follow me or harm me.
I thought I would sort it and head back home. Day 1 didn't yield any result. I had to lodge and think of what to do next.
Day 2 I got to the gate while staff were entering, and I joined them. I entered the premises and went straight to admin and explained why I was there. They sent an accountant, and when the man came, he was confused. He didn't even know an error had been made.
They thought they paid someone for supply, not knowing they paid the wrong account.
When they checked, they came back. The man almost carried me🤣🤣🤣 we went to the bank the next day . The bank manager heard my story, and I signed some documents for the transfer once the account is unfrozen.
I left for ilorin in peace and days after the accountant called they they have received their money.
Weeks after the company sent 500,000 back as appreciation and to cover my bills for accommodation and transport. I was weak.
I didn't spend that much, but they were grateful that sincere people still exist.
A few years down the line, I supply factory workers footwear every year since I started selling shoes.
Being a good person pays.
