BARCLAYVILLE, Grand Kru, Liberia – Back in October 2021, motoxi rider Emmanuel Tolue shocked millions of people when he returned LD$50,000.00 to its rightful owner, but the size of the cashed disvovered and returned by Abraham David in Grand Kru County is staggering.
David, a local motorcyclist returned a staggering sum of over 1 million Liberian Dollars and $5,000 USD in cash to its rightful owner amid the growing economic hardship, something that has earned him massive praise and admiration.
A former ambulance driver now bike rider, Abraham David stunned citizens of Grand Kru County after he. The incident occurred along the Barclayville–Pleebo highway while David was traveling to Maryland County for a sporting event.
According to police and media reports, David spotted a grid bag lying unattended by the roadside. Curiosity led him to inspect the bag, only to discover it was filled with a large amount of cash. After informing friends and local authorities, investigations revealed that the money belonged to Mark Momo, a well-known businessman based near Hospital Camp Junction in Barclayville.
Momo, who had been in distress over the missing money, was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude upon recovering the cash. The handover took place in the presence of the Liberia National Police and media institutions, after thorough verification confirmed ownership.
David’s decision to return the entire sum has been widely celebrated as a powerful display of integrity and moral leadership. Residents of Barclayville have hailed his actions as a “shining example of patriotism, honesty, and humanity.”
