Charity Bassey, a cleaner at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos State, has returned $6,000 to security officials at the terminal. The cleaner was on duty at the departure wing of the airport when she picked up the item from the floor.
She recalled that she was standing in front of the toilet when a passenger drew her attention to something inside the toilet.
According to Guardian, Bassey said: “I went in and saw the small black nylon on the floor. It looked dirty and rough, you won’t know it is money that was inside it.
“I picked it, felt some notes inside and took it to the customer care. I was given a glove to bring out the contents and I counted 60 pieces of $100 dollar bills.
“I do my best to do a good job with clear conscience. This is not the first time I am picking up forgotten items like wallets, phones, small bags and even money. I have always returned them to the frontline desk or customer care desk.”
