Ghana proud as taxi driver returns iPhone 7Plus to its owner

Agency report

Alex Boakye, a Ghanaian taxi driver this week returned iPhone 7 Plus forgotten in his car to its owner, a lady.

The owner of the phone, Ewurabena, a multimedia staff said her phone fell in Boakye’s car on Monday June 17, 2019 but that the Toyota Corolla taxi driver graciously answered a call put through to him and assured that it would be returned and even gave his personal number as a sign of commitment when the iPhone 7 Plus battery run down.

“He was called and answered the call and gave us his own telephone number. He was then at Nsawam so he brought the phone late in the night,” the phone owner recounted.

The taxi driver said the return of the phone is not new to him because he has never kept a customer’s property left in his car since he started driving.

“I do not know the reason why I shouldn’t return things left in my car. Even last weekend, a woman left her phone and I drove miles to deliver to her. I am a very honest man who is very truthful because I have children and I need to show them good values like this,” he said.

He advised his fellow taxi drivers to emulate his example so their transport profession would earn the respect of society.
