Salihu AbdulHadi Kankia, a member of the First Aid Group of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), has been praised and rewarded for his noble act of returning a lost bag containing over N100 million.
The commendation came during the conclusion of a special preaching session in Bauchi, where Engr Mustapha Imam Sitti, the National Director of the First Aid Group, lauded Kankia for his exemplary conduct.
The Bauchi State branch of JIBWIS took to Facebook to share the heartwarming story, detailing how Kankia discovered the bag and promptly reported it to the authorities.
Upon retrieval, the owner confirmed that nothing was missing from the bag.
In recognition of his integrity, Kankia was honoured with an award by the Izala group and sponsored for the Hajj pilgrimage this year.
Additionally, he received two million naira from Hon. Abdulmalik Zannan Bangudu and a bus from Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed to kickstart a business venture.
Kankia’s actions serve as a beacon of honesty and righteousness, inspiring others to uphold similar values in their communities.
His selfless act not only restored faith in humanity but also garnered well-deserved recognition and rewards.
