A mechanic identified as Timothy is currently trending on social media and online newspapers over his goodwill.
CONVERSEER gathered that Timothy had returned N10.8 million mistakenly sent to his account from a customer.
According to Oriental Times, Timothy was paid N50,000 as a reward for his goodness.
One of Timothy’s customers, Chinonso Ndukwe, who made the revelation on Facebook, said: “Before going on TV, I went to my mechanic to ask him about what I saw all over the Internet yesterday. He has been serving me very well. So when I read that he returned 10.8 million to one of his customers I was impressed. Today when I saw him he was quite ill. He said he is having headache. The man returned his money gave him N50,000.00. People can be really unimaginable. Behold!”
Also, The Guardian Nigeria reported that popular Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw and several others have showered encomium on the mechanic for his integrity.
“God bless Mr Timothy, who returned N10.8M naira that was mistakenly transferred to him. You will not lack, favour, peace and long life”, The Guardian quoted Henshaw as saying in a tweet.

The contractor identified as Itoba, said the mechanic who repairs his car went to the bank to return the money.
He urged people who are looking for a trustworthy mechanic to seek the services of Timothy whenever they need to repair their vehicles.
In the trending clip, eyewitnesses could be seen clapping and cheering the mechanic after the contractor narrated what happened.
Although, some felt the mechanic deserved more than what he got.
“I think Mr Timothy deserves more than this, even if it’s 10%…so that if something like this happens ever again, he will still have the mind to do good instead of bad..what if he doesn’t have a car but he repairs cars as a mechanic. Well, his reward is from God not man”, a Twitter user, Anabel Orakwue said.
