Nigerian Air Force Promotes Officer For Returning €37,000 Found At Airport

The Nigerian Air Force has promoted aircraftman Bashir Umar, for exhibiting good conduct by returning €37,000 he found at Aminu Kano Airport, Kano.

Voice of Nigeria reports that he was promoted two levels, from aircraftman to the rank of corporal, a promotion that would have taken him ten years to achieve.

Umar, who is a member of the NAF Mobile Air Defence Team deployed at the airport on security duties, found the parcel during a routine patrol with some of his colleagues.

Abubakar said, “ACM Bashir’s display of uncommon act of integrity by returning €37,000 he found at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano to its owner on 7 July 2019 while performing his routine duties portrays the good values we hold in high esteem in the Nigerian Air Force”.

“In this vein, a key driver of my vision which is to “Promote and inculcate the core values of integrity, excellence and service delivery”, readily comes to mind.
