Kwesi Ackon, a taxi driver is being celebrated by the whole world for showing patriotism and high integrity, having returned an amount of GH¢8,400.00 he found in his taxi cab to the owner.
The Church of Pentecost has joined well-wishers celebrating the honesty of the young man.
Ackon, 37 is a member of the Onyametease Assembly of the Church of Pentecost at Kokomlemle in Accra.
He picked an old lady on Easter Saturday from the Mallam Atta market in Accra to her residence at Teshie. The old woman, a trader, unfortunately, left her apron in which the money was concealed at the back of the taxi cab.
Kwesi saw the item the following morning when he was cleaning the car. He showed it to his wife and they agreed to return it to the old woman. He traced the trader to her residence in Teshie after closing from the Easter Convention on Sunday afternoon.
