“I Couldn’t Keep What Wasn’t Mine” Grand Kru Motorcyclist Report L$1 Million, US$5,000 Cash

Grand Kru County: It was just another dusty ride on the Barclayville Pleebo highway for commercial motorcyclist Abraham David, until his eyes caught a lone grid bag lying near the roadside mud-stained and zipped tight. Inside was a fortune: over L$1 million and US$5,000 in cash.

In a country where poverty pushes people to desperate decisions, David could have easily kept the money and disappeared. But instead, he chose honor over temptation. He drove straight to the nearest town, handed the money to local authorities, and joined police in tracking down the owner.

The cash belonged to Mark Momo, a well-known businessman who had misplaced the bag during a recent trip. He had nearly lost hope searching checkpoints, retracing his steps, praying for a miracle. That miracle arrived when Abraham David returned every single dollar.

Momo wept as the money was placed in his hands. “I thought it was all over,” he said. “But this man didn’t just return money he returned my peace, my business, my dignity.”

David, a former government ambulance driver laid off five years ago, now earns a living ferrying passengers on his motorcycle. His act of honesty stunned the community and earned him a wave of admiration both online and across Grand Kru.

In response, the Ministry of Internal Affairs swiftly rewarded his integrity with a new position as one of the Superintendent’s official drivers, placing him back in public service under the Boakai administration. A job he lost years ago had now been restored because of character.

Locals who know David say his action wasn’t surprising. “He’s always been like this quiet, respectful, and truthful,” one elder said. “This isn’t just luck. This is a blessing earned through clean hands.”

But David doesn’t see himself as a hero. “I couldn’t sleep knowing someone else was crying over what I had,” he said. “That bag didn’t belong to me. I was just the person God chose to find it.”

In a society often bruised by corruption, Abraham David’s act is a bright light in dark times a story of one man, a bag of cash, and a choice that has now inspired a nation.
