Someone mistakenly sent me ₦5,000,000 (Five Million naira) to my Fidelity Bank account. In this fvcking hard time? I’ve been getting calls from different persons cos of this,” he wrote.

Ben Kingsley revealed that he immediately contacted the police to report the situation to avoid future fraud-related issues linking him to the money.

In a follow-up post, he displayed a receipt confirming the return of the funds to Sliding Towers Global Limited, the sender. He also documented his visit to the Ogui Police Station in Enugu to ensure transparency and safeguard himself.
“Let it be on record that I’ve returned the sum of ₦5Million mistakenly sent to me by one Sliding Towers Global Limited. I’ve also made an entry at the Ogui Police Station Enugu to this effect,” he wrote.

Social media users have since lauded his honesty and integrity, with many describing his actions as exemplary, especially during challenging economic times.
