Salihu Kankia, a member of the First Aid Group of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), has been showered with rewards for returning a lost bag containing over N100 million.
The recognition came during the closing ceremony for Islamic scholars presenting this year’s Ramadan Tafsir in Bauchi.
Mustapha Sitti, National Director of the First Aid Group who introduced Kankia commended him for the act.
In a post published on its Facebook page, the Bauchi State branch of JIBWIS said, “Kankia found a bag containing a large sum of money, exceeding one hundred million naira.
