A Nigerian expatriate in Qatar, Michael Asemota recently earned popular commendation after he returned the sum of QR1.5 million ($411,127.99) erroneously deposited into his account.
Asemota, who is also an official of the Quatar chapter of Nigerians in Diaspora had opened an account with a cheque of QR150,200 with an undisclosed commercial bank.
He was the sole signatory to his account, so he was surprised when he found that he had suddenly become a millionaire.
After receiving the alert showing that a QR1,502,000 had been credited into his account by mistake instead of QR150,200 after he got back home, he went back to the bank and returned the money.
“After opening the account with the bank, I checked my balance to make withdrawals for a supply job and found the huge sum. I was amazed and decided to contact the bank,” he told Qatar Tribune.
“I went to see the manager to report the error of QR1,502,000 deposited into my account. After checking for confirmation, the manager gave me a warm handshake in appreciation.”
On why he alerted the bank about the error, he said, “I knew the money did not belong to me and shouldn’t be in my account in the first place, so there were no motives and temptations to keep it.”
