“Not everyone can find such money at a place where no one was looking, and return it to the owner. We are presenting this money and the certificate to him so that it can encourage his colleagues and other members of the public to always remain honest.
"If he had taken the money and did not return it, because no one was seeing him, God had seen him and he must account for it someday. But due to his honesty and good character, he has now generated respect for himself and the entire police force, because many people have been commending him."
Meanwhile, Abu-Albaba urged other well-meaning Nigerians to take a cue from the patriotic and honest act of Mande, stating that it pays to be good at all times.
Insecurity: Katsina lawmaker lauds police intervention
He, however, lauded the state police command for its interventional approach in the fight against insecurity in the state.
Idris Dauda-Dabban, the state commissioner of police, thanked the lawmaker for his kind gesture towards officer Mande.
He also praised the Mande for his act of sincerity while noting that the state command has also bestowed him with an award.
Dauda-Dabban said:
“We are happy with his conduct, the organisation he was posted to is happy and also the people of Katsina state are happy because he is from the state.
“That is to say that in any society, no matter how decadent it is, we must have good people.
“In fact, many people have been calling me about him. Even the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission was here to greet and congratulate us because of this singular act of honesty."
