Nigerian 'Toilet Roll' Seller Returns €16,000 Found In Briefcase In Spain

A 35-year old Nigerian tissue paper (or toilet roll as I know it) seller has been praised by the Spanish media for returning €16,000 (₦3,586,968) he found in a briefcase that fell from a car.

The man, known as Peter Angelina, who is known by Pedro works as a tissue paper seller at a traffic light junction at the corner of Calle Juan Diaz de Solis and Ruben Dario in Seville, Spain, was selling his wares on Dec. 3 when he noticed a small briefcase left on the roof of a car.

The briefcase fell off the car and Peter chased after the car to return the money but he failed to get the attention of the driver.

He then took the briefcase to the police station near the junction.

When police opened the briefcase they found €3,150 in cash and six cheques with a combined value of €13,000 as well as some documents and a mobile telephone.

Peter had left Lagos to London where he lived for two years before going to Spain.

The Police then tracked down the owner of the money who then rewarded Peter with €100 (₦22,416).

Peter told the local media: “People say I could have kept the money and then thrown the briefcase away but I am not like that, and God wouldn’t have liked that. I am not crazy, I am a good man”.

Peter is a doctor but can’t practice his medicine in Spain due to his diploma from Lagos University not being recognised in Spain.

MY REMARKS: Abeg, abeg make una leave story. This man didn't know there was money in the briefcase. If he knew, it would have been a different story. E dey look for money come meet honor for road...Wetin e find go Sokoto come show up for im sokoto mouth. How else does he want God to bless him. Please, stop disturbing God oooo because HE has already answered your prayer but na you no click.
