The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to reward one of its personnel, Aircraftman (ACM) Mr. Bashir Umar, who found and returned
the sum of 37,000 Euros to Alhaji Ahmad, the owner of the lost money.
The incident occured recently at the Hajj Camp Market in Kano, when ACM Bashir, who is a member of the NAF Mobile Air Defence Team (MADT) deployed for airport security duties, while on routine patrol with some of his colleagues, found the money in a parcel.
While commending it’s personnel for his integrity, Air Commodore, Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations in a statement, said fortunately there was no number on the parcel which the Airman could called, and eventually handed over the package to the owner.
Consequently, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has directed the Chief of Administration at the Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, to immediately come up with modalities to reward the airman so as to encourage other personnel of the Service to continue to embody attitudes and behaviours that reflect NAF’s core values of Integrity, Excellence and Service Delivery.
