An official of Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos State, Kekwaaru Ngozi Mary, who returned misplaced $70,000 to a customer, has received a permanent residency for the kind gesture.

The Star had reported that Mary recovered the money from a bag left in the facility by a guest in July 2023.

Mary was said to have immediately reported the incident to the hotel management, who later returned the money to the owner.

It was gathered that the Eko Hotel official received the permanent residency after an international organisation offered to assist her to obtain the residency free of charge.

Confirming the development during the NSSPPD service held recently, the Eko Hotel and Suites customer care said: “An International Organisation called me since they know I speak French, they called me, they want to do Canada PR for me for free.”

Mary added that her family faced stagnation but they began to do well and her brother with a first class now has a job as a lecturer in the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).

She said: “My other testimony is in God’s favour and lifting. The second week of July 2023, Pastor made a declaration on the altar of fire, saying ‘There’s someone here at your office a minute thing will happen, but it will blow you up to the world and I said Amen’.”

Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, had earlier gifted $10,000 to Mary for returning the misplaced $70,000.
