A tricycle (keke) rider in Aba, Abia State, has been widely praised for his uncommon act of honesty after returning a sum of N4 million forgotten by a businesswoman in his vehicle.
The incident occurred earlier today near Ariaria Junction, one of the busiest commercial areas in the city.
According to eyewitnesses, the woman had boarded the keke with a bag containing the large cash sum, believed to be for business transactions. After she alighted at her stop, she mistakenly left the bag behind.The rider, whose identity has not been disclosed at the time of reporting, discovered the money shortly after and immediately began tracing her.
To the surprise of many, he successfully located the woman and returned the entire amount without demanding any reward.
Speaking with bystanders, the woman expressed deep gratitude, saying: “I was already in tears and didn’t know where to start. God used this man for me today.”
Local residents have described the keke rider’s action as a “shining light in tough times,” especially at a time when trust and integrity seem to be in short supply.
