In a Facebook post by Goshers and Aklamasu Wise, they indicated that the boy was struggling financially and sometimes had to do menial jobs to get money for his upkeep and education.
“On his way to school somewhere last week, he found an amount of Ghc 20, 000.00 (Twenty Thousand Ghana Cedis) full of 200Gh notes. Judging from his looks the tattered and faded short-sleeve shirt shows that he needs a lot to get educated and that amount of money could be a good start.”
They recounted that even though he contemplated keeping the huge sum, Wisdom Ahorsu upon hearing a community member had misplaced his money returned it to his teachers who gave it to the owner.
The money belonged to the Assemblyman for the Aveme Beme Electoral Area, Albert Attah Avor, who was searching for it.
After receiving the money, the Assemblyman gifted him a new uniform, mathematical set, pens and books.
