To his relief, Chioma had found the phone and was carefully keeping it, waiting for the rightful owner to appear and claim ownership of the device.

"When I came, she had the phone with her, and she was just waiting for me to come and claim my phone. So I found her, and then I took the phone," the man said.

The story took an even more touching turn when the man discovered that Chioma, the good Samaritan, did not own a phone herself.

In his words:

"But the most interesting part is that Chioma, who found my phone, didn't have a phone by herself. So that tells of the level of sincerity."

Because of such rare integrity, he felt compelled to do more than say thank you. The Ghanaian man decided to reward her honesty by buying her a new Samsung Galaxy A07.

According to him, it took a few days to search. After he located her, he presented it to a visibly emotional and grateful Chioma.

"This is simply to say thank you for what you have done," he told her as he handed over the gift.
