On Sunday, June 19, Saheed went to Tosin's church after he had raised some more money for him. He used the visit to speak about the man to the congregation.
Tosin rewarded publicly
He said:
"May almighty God bless Tosin and grant his desires! May he live long to fulfill his destiny. Special thanks to all my friends at home and abroad who donated to the cause. You made putting smile on someone's face today a possibility. Thank you all!!!"
The man also thanked New Life Baptist Church, Sabo, for allowing him and his friends to address the congregation.
Speaking with Legit.ng on the church's reaction, he said:
"At the onset, they had mixed feelings... They were scared that strangers came into their midst but after assuring them that we came to appreciate the guy's selfless act, they were shocked and surprised. When I announced the reward, there was a loud ovation and afterwards, they felt sober when I passed the message of honesty and maintaining one's integrity."
Below are some of the reactions:

Another Nigerian man returned money
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian driver, Emmanuel Christoper, was praised online for his utmost honesty in returning valuables a passenger left in his car in Abuja.
A woman known as Lara Wise who narrated his act of kindness on Facebook revealed that the man is a choir member in her church and he is a very committed person.
According to her, after Emmanuel dropped a female passenger in the federal capital, he soon realised she left behind a fat wallet in the back seat.
