According to Emma, the owner of the phone forgot it in the restroom. The cash reward was contributed by Emma and three other guests who were impressed with what the boy did.
Emma's post on Facebook read in part:
"I announced a cash reward of N50,000. while Hon Josiah Olu did N50,000 and Co-Chairman Dr John Bosco - $500. By this, Philemon Igbokwe will go home with N340,000 for returning a phone which if sold as a stolen item, would not make N40,000. I will appreciate any effort to reach him or his parents to enable us redeem our pledge.
"I am proud to Congratulate Philemon and his parents for the example he has shown that there are still young ones with integrity in our country. I pray God to uphold Philemon and his family in greatness, honour and success in life."
