A Nigerian-American woman, Victoria Ogunremi, has returned the $5,700 she found in the toilet at her workplace in New Jersey, United States of America.

In a telephone interview on Monday, Ogunremi told Newsmen that her gesture had earned widespread praise from her employer, colleagues, and the person who lost the money.

She said the decision to return the money was informed by concern for the person who had lost it.

She said she had found the owner of the money before informing her organisation’s management.

The Nigerian-American attributed her kind nature to her late father’s teachings on moral upbringing, adding “he taught us never to take what does not belong to us.
