Man praises stranger who returned full N1.8m after accidental Opay transfer

A man has shared how a stranger earned his admiration after returning the full N1.8 million he mistakenly transferred to the person’s Opay account.

According to the man, he initially believed the money was gone after repeatedly calling the recipient’s phone number without success because it was switched off.

He said he was already losing hope before deciding to try again about 30 minutes later.

When the recipient eventually answered the call, the man explained the situation and appealed for the money to be returned.

As a gesture of appreciation, he even offered to let the stranger keep N100,000 before sending back the remaining balance.
