Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Abdulkadir Shehu, a journalist with Progress FM in Gombe has returned the $3,000 he found along the road to the owner.<\/p>\n

Shehu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that he had less than N2,000 on him at the time.<\/p>\n

The pressman said when he found the money, he got a call from Kano that his son was sick and needed to be tested for kidney and liver diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey couldn\u2019t go ahead because there was no money. My son is still under medical supervision\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Shehu stressed that poverty should not be an excuse to be dishonest, adding that Allah would judge him if he spent the money.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Islam, the Messenger of Allah told us that whoever finds a missing thing in the city, must seek its owner for a year.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Shehu recalled he was going to the office last Wednesday around 7am, when he saw an envelope on the road.<\/p>\n

The journalist informed colleagues but didn\u2019t disclose the amount and currency.<\/p>\n

He later announced on the radio that whoever lost money along the area should call a mobile number.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owner called, cried profusely, described the location he lost the money, what the money was wrapped in, the total amount, and other details\u201d<\/p>\n

Shehu added that after the announcement, about 50 persons called to claim ownership of the money but none gave the actual figure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
