According to him, the passenger made plans for him to return the money the following day because it was late but he insisted on returning the money that very day because he wouldn't be able to sleep with the money in his custody as he was scared something will happen to the money so he returned it instantly.

Speaking to Adom tv in an interview, he gave the reason he returned the money, saying:

As for me, I am someone who is not envious, and moreover I had a certain senior brother who died, but before he died he told my father he wanted to see me and have a chat with me and when I went all he told me was ‘’what is yours is yours’’ and I asked him what he meant by that and he explained saying what is yours is only yours and don't go near what is someone else’s So that statement has been in my head for the past 4 to 5 years
