He initially wanted to give it to the driver, but he could not trust the man to find the owner and return it. So he decided to take it to a media house in Accra for them to help him locate the owner.
He took the money to Accra-based JoyNews and narrated the incident to them.
“There are still some good people out there! A man who boarded cab came to JoyNews a while ago and brought a GH¢100,000 he discovered from the car he boarded. He suspects the money belongs to a woman who was also a passenger. He didn’t tell the driver because he felt the driver may not find the owner of the money. Luckily, he found the ID of the woman. Blessings to the guy!” Richard’s post read.
Netizens react to the passenger's return of the money

Listening to him on adom fm. He's not the driver ooo. He's a passenger. He says he didn't tell the driver cos he doesn't trust him. So he brought the cash straight to your station. Interestingly, the guy is unemployed ooo. God bless him.
