In a rare display of integrity that has captivated hearts across Aba and beyond, Mr. Lucky Okoro, a commercial tricycle operator popularly known as Onye Photo, has been rewarded with ₦2.1 million after returning a misplaced sum of ₦4 million left in his Keke by a Cameroonian passenger.
The touching incident occurred in Aba last week, drawing praise from all corners of the state.
Mr. Okoro, who hails from Umuomie in Obingwa Local Government Area, was celebrated by a group known as the Ikpeazu Faithfuls — loyalists to the former Abia State governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu — for his extraordinary honesty in the face of economic hardship.
