YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Sheldon paid GHc700 to top up the school fees of a final year KNUST student who was unable to sit for his final examination due to the deficit.

Sheldon made the kind gesture to Shadrack Ashong Martey after his story was shared on Twitter, with many retweeting to get a helper for the young man to be able to write his papers and graduate.

The original post was from KNUST Notice Board with the handle @KNUSTNotice which read:

A final year KNUST student needs about GHc700 to complete the payment of his school fees in order to be able to register for his final examination.
