A 19-year-old Liberian has turned into a national hero after returning money found on the street to its owner. Yesterday, the Liberian Observer newspaper reported that Emmanuel Tulu, who works as a taxi driver, found $50,000, and Tulu received a prize from Liberian President George Weah as a reward for his honesty. The report said a businesswoman accidentally dumped the money, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, on the side of a country road in the northeastern Nimba region.
The president presented the young man with the highest medal in Liberia, an educational grant, two motorcycles, and a cash reward. Tolo, whose father died when he was young, was forced to drop out in the seventh grade due to a tight hand.
