Nigerian Man Returns $135K Mistakenly Deposited In His Crypto Wallet by BlackViper(op): 5:30pm On Sep 29, 2025

In a remarkable display of honesty, a Nigerian man, Sunusi Danjuma Ali, has returned over $135,000 (more than N200 million) that was mistakenly credited to his cryptocurrency wallet.

Ali, who trades on the Bitunix platform, discovered the unusual balance after logging into his account.

Recognizing that the funds were not his, he immediately reported the matter to Bitunix’s Africa team and also reached out through the company’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.

Company confirms glitch
The company later confirmed that the credit was due to a system glitch. Rather than attempting to withdraw or misuse the funds, Ali urged the company to rectify the error, earning widespread commendation for his integrity.

Bashir praises the man’s honesty
Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad, who shared the incident, praised his action on social media, describing it as a clear example that “it is always good to be good.”

His words read …

“It is always good to be good. This brother, Sunusi Danjuma Ali, discovered a huge balance in his cryptocurrency Bitunix account — over $135,000 (more than ₦200 million). He explained that even though he has worked hard for Bitunix, he immediately realized it must have been a system error (a glitch). Instead of attempting to withdraw the funds, he chose the path of honesty and quickly contacted the Bitunix database team in Africa as well as their official X (Twitter) account. They confirmed it was indeed a glitch and he asked them to rectify it. Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾”

Fake news.
It was simply a glitch. The crypto was not deposited in his account .

You can't withdraw a glitch. And I am to some extent sure that he would have tried.

No mind them. The whole story is obviously a publicity stunt for the exchange. Anyone with experience in crypto knows the truth.

If it were a criminal act, they will tag it to all Nigerians. Nigerians are bad people. Now that it's an honest act, Nigerians won't be tagged as good and honest people but just an individual..

There are truly honest people, I once mistakenly transferred $5k into a wrong acct via email which looked very similar to mine. He returned it and he is also a Nigerian.
We need to do better as a people, politicians don’t fall from hell, they are Nigerians. With this mentality, most Nigerians deserve what they get because they will do worse if given the opportunity.
