Oyo – Thirty -seven years after , Mr Muibi Shonubi, the taxi driver who returned N5 million forgotten by a passenger in 1995 has been given N1 million reward by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.

Makinde gave the money to Shonubi who is now in his 70s in appreciation of his honesty and rare integrity.

As a driver in the city of Ibadan in 1995, Shonubi had handed over a bag containing N5 million cash forgotten in his taxi by a passenger.

He handed over the money to police in Ibadan who immediately started making announcements of Shonubi’s action on radio, a development which made the owner to come out to collect his money.

Makinde had used the occasion of the first anniversary celebration of the popular Agidigbo FM Radio Station held in Ibadan on Saturday, April 2 to honour Shonubi .

Aside this, the governor
presented an award of honour to Shonubi. The award was conferred on him by the Agidigbo FM Station.

The management of the FM Radio Station under Alhaji Oriyomi Haamzat has also put Shonubi on life salary by including his name in the company’s payroll.

Successive government’s in the state had ignored Shonubi’s noble action by refusing to reward/honour him appropriately.

Infact, he became a subject of mockery till date among residents who tagged him a foolish man for not converting the money to personal use.(vitalnews)
