The 22-year-old Kano tricycle operator, while narrating how it all happened said after he found the money, he told his parents about it and they suggested he should approach a radio station.
He also said he called the owner of the money six times before he eventually picked up his call.
He said: “I picked one of the numbers. I called five times, but they didn’t pick up. So I thought of trying the second line and that was when the call was picked.”
Following his act of kindness and honesty, he has been getting recognition from government officials, individuals, and groups.
