Veteran Ghanaian boxer Bukom Banku has shared a remarkable story involving a taxi driver, a bag allegedly containing GH¢200,000, and an iPhone 17, warning Ghanaians to be cautious when confronted with suspicious situations.
According to Bukom Banku, a taxi driver visited his home claiming that a University of Ghana student had accidentally left a bag containing approximately GH¢200,000 and an iPhone 17 in his vehicle. The driver reportedly asked the boxer to keep the valuables until an announcement could be made to help locate the rightful owner.
However, Bukom Banku said he advised the driver to hand the money and phone over to the police, believing it was the safest and most appropriate course of action.
The driver, according to Bukom Banku, expressed concerns that the money could be misused if it was handed over to the authorities. Despite the driver's hesitation, the former boxer refused to take custody of the items and reportedly sent him away.
Bukom Banku explained that he did not want to become involved in a situation that could potentially have legal consequences. He cautioned the public to exercise extreme care whenever they encounter large sums of money or valuable items under suspicious circumstances, noting that such possessions could be linked to criminal activities or other unlawful dealings.
The story has sparked discussions on social media, with many praising Bukom Banku for encouraging the driver to follow the proper legal process, while others debated what they would have done in a similar situation.
Authorities generally advise anyone who finds lost property or valuables to report the matter to the nearest police station so efforts can be made to identify and return them to their rightful owner.
