Thursday, April 30, 2026 - A member of staff at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, in Lagos, Frank Omorojie, returned a lost purse containing cash and important travel documents to its owner at the departure hall of Terminal 2.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, April 29, 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.
Omorojie reported the recovered item 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.
A Nigerian passenger scheduled to travel to Kigali, Rwanda,
who had already feared the items were lost permanently, was soon reunited with
all her belongings intact.
Airport officials commended Omorojie. They 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.
