Kano man who returns missing N19m to marry four women offered him

21-year-old Salisu Auwal, from Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State, who returned the sum of N19m has said he may marry the four wives given to him.

Salisu disclosed this in an interview with pressmen after he received the sum of 400 thousand as a reward from the owner of the 19m.

Speaking during the interview, he said he had numerous plans that require financial resources as the sole means to accomplish them and the money I saw would have been sufficient to execute most, if not all, of my plans.

For instance, I do not own the tricycle I currently ride, and I aspire to have my own.

Narrating the incidence, he said that day, I carried four passengers who accidentally left a box behind when they disembarked. I did not immediately realise that they had forgotten something until I parked my tricycle to pray. Upon discovering the box, I realised it was filled with money. I tried to locate the passengers to return it, but unfortunately, I was unable to find them. I immediately returned home without informing anyone, including my friends whom I encountered on my way home. When I got home, I was greeted by my mother.

I told her about the situation, and she instructed me to contact my father and relay the incident to him, which I did immediately. He requested that I await his arrival at home. When he returned, he inquired whether I could still identify the passengers and I said I could. He proceeded to inquire whether I knew the precise location where they disembarked from the tricycle and I said I knew. He then proposed that we should trace them back to the drop-off point and investigate further. Despite our efforts, we were unable to locate them and subsequently returned home. My father advised me to refrain from disclosing the details of the incident and instructed me to keep the money confidential.

After three days, my mother heard an announcement on a prominent Kano radio station about individuals who misplaced their funds. They earnestly appealed for the finder to contact them through the phone number provided. My mother diligently noted the phone number and asked my father and I to return home. When we got home, we contacted the passengers five times but they did not pick up. It was when we contacted them the next day that they picked up the call. I told them that I was the tricycle rider and that they left their money in my tricycle. They were very happy and asked for my residential address, but I told them I would like to meet them at the radio station that made the announcement. We met at the radio station that day, and I handed their money over to them.
