Ghanaian man returns lady’s missing wallet

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a Ghanaian man in the United States (US) was kind enough to return the missing wallet of an African-American lady he saw at a fuel station.

However, when he finally handed the wallet over to the lady, he told her he had taken $20 to buy fuel since he needed the money.

Meanwhile, the young woman who initially thought the man returned her wallet untouched was amazed when the man explained himself.

This triggered different reactions from Ghanaians online, who gave different arguments on whether the man was right or wrong.
