The small bag containing
$27,000 and other currencies, including naira, which added up to N12m,
was eventually claimed by a passenger on Emirates Airlines, who was
simply identified as Samuel from Anambra State.
In earlier reports,
Josephine Agwu who holds an OND in accounting, had said : “If I had
taken what doesn’t belong to me, God will punish me. I am content with
my N7,800 monthly salary. It was not my money. I believe when it pleases
God, He will bless the work of my hands and will make me rich.
“This is not the first
time I am doing this. This is the third time in this airport. The first
was in the departure area. It belonged to a Nigerian. The second was at
the screening point; it belonged to a white man. Of all, only the white
man rewarded me with $50, which I rejected until my colleagues prevailed
on me to collect it.” she added.
According to the
Nigerian Tribune, the House took the decision to invite Josephine to
appear before it at a later date, during its sitting following
resumption from a month long recess.
It has, therefore, requested the Clerk of the House, Mr Segun Abiru, to put everything in place to invite the lady to the House.
Deputy Whip of the
House, Honourable Rotimi Abiru, had under Matter of Urgent Public
Importance, raised the issue which happened on January 23, 2015, calling
the attention of his colleagues to the fact that Josephine was
returning lost money for the third time.
Abiru said that the
affected lady, who earns a monthly salary of N7,800, was given just 50
dollars the second time she found and returned a lost money.
