The incident occurred during Mr. Onoh's routine operations in Umuahia. After dropping off a enger at Isi Gate, he noticed a bag left at the back of his tricycle while heading toward Umudike Junction.

"I picked up the bag and placed it in front of my keke," Onoh explained. "I hoped to find the owner nearby, but after waiting and searching, no one came forward."

Upon returning home, Onoh inspected the bag with his brother and discovered it contained ₦470,000 in cash, a Dell laptop, school credentials, an appointment letter, and other personal items. They also found a book containing a phone number, which Onoh used to the owner.

The bag belonged to Mr. Tangban Eji Ejor, a student at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, who expressed deep gratitude and amazement at the recovery of his belongings.

Ejor explained that he had unknowingly left the bag in the tricycle while traveling from the university to Isi Gate. "I visited several stations to file complaints and was even preparing to announce the loss on air when I received a call from the keke rider," he said.

Upon retrieving the bag, Ejor confirmed that all items were intact. “It’s hard to believe such honesty exists in today’s world. I’m incredibly grateful, and no reward can adequately compensate for his kindness,” Ejor remarked.

An eyewitness, Mr. Otunbade Tobias, owner of Otixi Ventures in Umuahia, corroborated the story. Tobias revealed that Ejor had visited his shop before realizing his bag was missing. "We searched extensively and even considered a radio announcement before the keke rider ed him," Tobias said.

Tobias added that he helped facilitate the bag’s return on behalf of Ejor, who had to travel to Cross River. "When I met the keke rider, he opened the bag, checked its contents, and confirmed ownership. Everything was intact," he recounted.

Speaking on his motivation, Onoh attributed his actions to his faith and moral upbringing. "My life is guided by the spirit of God and the principle of doing what is right. Good deeds endure longer than bad ones," he said.

He also urged others to practice honesty and integrity, emphasizing the importance of building a trustworthy society.

Tobias echoed these sentiments, encouraging the public to emulate such exemplary behavior. “Returning lost items is not just a moral duty; it also attracts blessings. Despite the challenges in our country, individuals like Mr. Onoh remind us that good citizens still exist,” Tobias concluded.

It can only take a very responsible man,a Keke rider for that matter to return such things to it's rightful owner.....

But then again,if you're a good hearted person,these are normal things you ought to do even without having a second thought of personalizing them......

I've equally found lost phones, severally inside my keke especially when the engers have alighted but I always made sure I returned all of them to the owners..

Let's say 4 months ago,a enger forgot 2 sacks of canned maltina Guinness at the back of my keke....Tho it was late already, around 10p.m......But I made sure I traced her to where I dropped her, asked around until I found her house.....she was really grateful and so was I too.

N470k is nothing to an Igbo man unlike some people that mine skulls for N20k

At this perilous times, all we can do is be nice and kind to the next person. God bless his heart

Yes, it deserves all the big deal they make about it because he did what majority of Nigerians would never have done if they were in his shoes.

There are still faithful people in Nigeria despite the hardship...

Igbos are good people.
Industrious
Proud but not arrogant
Independent and entrepreneurial
Creativity is inherently ingrained in the DNA of every Igbo blood

A good person is a good person, irrespective of the tribe they belong to.

Speaking on his motivation, Onoh attributed his actions to his faith and moral upbringing. "My life is guided by the spirit of God and the principle of doing what is right. Good deeds endure longer than bad ones," he said.

I knew it.

Stop boasting!!!

Anyways, how did the owner forget such amount and his laptop in a Keke? Was he drunk?

Good man.

In the midst of so much darkness, there's still a flicker of light...!

Honest Nigerians still exist... Sadly, they are terribly few, and getting fewer by the day.

If na yarimo and beerfraud, dem go use am organize party.

Give him a political post ASAP...
Better than yaya Bello

Thank you for your honesty.
God bless you.

God bless you bro. Good people still exist in Nigeria. Same thing happened to me Last week Thursday or so. As I dey hustle late night with my Korope, after the last trip, on getting home, upon opening the front enger seat to wind up the window, I saw a wallet containing ATM cards, Money. I quickly ed the enger that sat on the front seat. I immediately took the wallet in to my wife, searched it and saw the owners Church ID and I quickly called him and he was so excited upon receiving the call. I told him my address and he took bike to come and collect it. He was so overjoyed and wanted to give me 3k which I rejected. He knelt down begging me to accept the money not because of the money in the wallet, but the numerous s cards in it. I accepted the 3k after much pleading and I went back home. My conscience would definitely kill me taking what doesn't belong to me.

Highly commendable. God bless him

Nonsense skit. The bag Na bag of cement wey the owner no fit hold for hand. Igbos and stupid doings Na stalemate. Avenue to beg for favour from unsuspecting populace again. Billionaire beggers

People forget things . He might have other luggages with him or got other things running in his mind .

People that forget vital things like this in public transit, are they mentally OK?

Me forget my laptop inside motor, na craze?
