A taxi driver earned plaudits on social media after a video of his act of sincerity went viral. As shared by Okay FM, the taxi driver returned a substantial amount of money left in his car by one of his passengers.
According to reports, the passenger, a fishmonger, chartered the driver last Friday, May 6, and forgot her money in the cab.
But upon seeing the money in the car the following day, this good samaritan driver returned it to the woman in her house, where she dropped her off.
A video of the fishmonger and driver has since gone viral on Ghana’s social media, with many Ghanaians praising the cab driver for his good deed.
