Times are undeniably challenging in terms of financial stability, but even amidst these difficulties, an unemployed individual has demonstrated unwavering integrity and kindness.Dela Anim, the man in question, in an interview with Accra-based Adom FM revealed how he discovered a polythene bag containing over GH¢100,000 in the back seat of a taxi he had boarded on his way to Abossey-Okai, Accra.

Narrating the event, Dela explained that he was en route to Abossey-Okai for a specific task when he noticed the bag.“I live at Nungua and I had to come to Labadi. From there, I was going to visit someone at Abossey-Okai. So, I took a car to Nima Mobil to take care of something. From there, I picked another taxi towards Abossey-Okai. But upon getting to Silvercup (Kokomlemle), I saw that there was a blue-black polythene bag there.

I opened it and realised there was money in it.“Initially, I wanted to give it to the driver, but I wasn’t sure about that driver whether he would safely deliver it, so, I thought it wise to come here myself… I even got here before we counted it. When I found it, I didn’t touch it. So, I came to the reception and the lady helped me count,” he said.

When Dela Anim was asked why he chose to return the money, he attributed it to his strong Christian beliefs.“I owned a transport business but it has collapsed so I’m unemployed and depend on the benevolence of my family to survive but growing up as a Christian and Presbyterian, my parents taught me not to take what is not mine and that has guided my siblings and I throughout life,” he said.

An employee from the FM station provided additional information regarding the discovered belongings, indicating that the money exceeded GH¢100,000. However, the exact amount was intentionally withheld. Additionally, an ID card found among the items had the name Esther Sackey on it, prompting the station to launch efforts to locate this individual.
