Malam Aminu Umar Kofar Mazugal, a staff of the Abubakar Imam Urology Centre in Kano from Dala Local Government Area has returned missing bundles of U.S. dollars’ worth over N40 million to owner.
Grassroots Parrot reports that the dollars were mistakenly left behind by a visitor at the hospital.
It was gathered that the owner of the money, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed, accidentally left it in a bag at the hospital’s parking lot near a mosque, where he had briefly sat before rushing off to catch a flight.
After the owner departed, Aminu Umar, a hospital staff member who was working with colleagues to clear the pavements, discovered the bag of money.

Dr. Aminu Imam Yola, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, confirmed the incident and stated that the hospital management had submitted Aminu’s name to the Kano State Hospitals Management Board for special recognition.
