Femi Akinola, a Nigerian cryptocurrency trader, returned 90 Solana tokens worth $14,000 that were mistakenly sent to him by a foreign trader. His honest act garnered widespread praise and led to gifts totaling over 35 SOL from members of the crypto community.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Akinola explained that a crypto trader known as @raffayalvi “RAF” on the X social platform had intended to send him $100 in Solana tokens as part of a giveaway but accidentally transferred 100 SOL, worth approximately 20 million in Nigeria’s fiat currency.Realizing his mistake, RAF contacted the recipient, Femi, and requested the return of 90 SOL while allowing him to keep 10 SOL as a gesture of goodwill.

“I used to hear about similar incidents where people had to make ethical decisions and would think it was superhuman. But at that moment, all I could think of was my integrity and doing the right thing.”Akinola believes his actions might positively impact the perception of Nigerian traders in the global crypto community. He stated he plans to create free seminars to educate individuals on crypto with his newfound fame and encourage them to join.

The community claimed that Davido had previously offloaded digital coins onto his fans, marking this as the second occurrence in the past three years, leaving his followers to absorb the losses. In 2021, Davido promoted RapDoge before selling off more than $300,000 worth of the cryptocurrency to his fans.
