The Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has donated GHC 20,000 to the kind-hearted taxi driver who returned the lost money to the owner.
It was reported earlier today that a kind-hearted taxi driver in Accra, Akwesi Akrong, had returned over GHS8,000 he found in his car to the rightful owner.
The 37-year-old man, who has been a taxi driver for seven years, picked up a woman from Malata market to Teshie last night.
After a hard day’s work, he found a package in the back seat of his taxi and discovered that it contained money.
After having a discussion with his wife, he returned the money to the woman today.
In a video sighted, about three women, including the victim, embraced the taxi driver while thanking him. “We thank you, God,” one said.
Another added, “We haven’t slept all night. We are grateful you returned it, sir. Thank you very much.”
Amidst loud cries, the fishmonger who trades at Mallam Atta Market screamed, “God richly bless, Sir.”
A few hours after the video was shared, social media users could not help but praise the taxi driver.
Amid the praise, the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has donated GHC 20,000 to Akwesi Akrong.
This was made known during the drive time show, “Ekwansodwoodwo,” on Okay FM.
