A market trader has been celebrated online for showing that honesty can prevail in the face of temptation.
She returned a wallet to a customer three months after it got lost and the money inside was still intact.
The story was shared by a Facebook user identified as Awodiye Funke who revealed that the owner of the wallet is known as Mama Funke.
A trader she had bought something from in the market asked her if she ever misplaced anything some time ago.
When Mama Funke replied ‘yes’, the trader said she thinks she has a wallet that is hers. The businesswoman added that she would have returned it but there was no contact in the wallet to reach her with.
The post was shared alongside a photo of the Naira notes and other valuables in the wallet.

The woman didn’t touch anything in the wallet. The notes had gathered dust and fungi.
