In a heartwarming display of integrity and selflessness, a young teacher trainee, Lydia Anna Lartey, is winning the admiration of Ghanaians after she voluntarily returned an amount of over GH¢30,000.00 that was mistakenly credited to her mobile money (MoMo) account.
Anna, who is currently undertaking her teaching service in a village near Kyebi (Kibi) in the Eastern Region, discovered the erroneous transaction from the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) involving branches at Kade and Asiakwa.
Instead of keeping the money or delaying action, she made the noble decision to return the entire amount to the rightful owner without hesitation.
Her honesty has sparked widespread praise on social media, where many have hailed her as a rare example of moral uprightness in times when integrity is often compromised for personal gain.

“This act might seem simple to some, but it speaks volumes about the values we need to see more of in our society,” one user commented. “Anna deserves to be celebrated not just by her community, but by the whole nation.”
Though Anna’s current location is remote and less known, her character has now brought her to national attention, proving that true greatness lies in everyday acts of honesty.
Many are calling on authorities, community leaders, and civil society organizations to recognize and reward Anna for her good deed, which could serve as a powerful example for the youth and the general public.
Her story is not just about returning money—it is about choosing to do what is right even when no one is watching.
