A staff member at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, in Lagos, Frank Omorojie, has been commended for returning a lost purse containing cash and important travel documents to its owner at the departure hall of Terminal 2.
The incident occurred on Wednesday at the Rwanda Air
check-in area, where Omorojie reportedly discovered the misplaced item.
The purse contained $1,700, a Nigerian and British passport,
as well as a credit card.
According to airport sources, the discovery immediately
raised concerns about tracing the owner, but Omorojie promptly handed the item
over to Aviation Security, AVSEC, personnel without hesitation.
Following standard airport procedures, the recovered
belongings were properly documented and transferred to the Customer Service
unit, which quickly made a public announcement to locate the owner.
Within a short time, a Nigerian passenger scheduled to
travel to Kigali, Rwanda, who had already feared the items were lost
permanently, was reunited with all her belongings intact.
Airport officials described the incident as a clear
demonstration of professionalism and integrity, noting that such actions
reinforce public confidence in airport operations and staff conduct.
Speaking briefly, Omorojie said his decision was guided by
simple principles of honesty.
“I just did what was right,” he said.
His action has since drawn praise from colleagues and
airport authorities, who described it as a commendable example of
responsibility and ethical conduct in public service.
