The man, known as Peter Angelina, who is known by Pedro works as a tissue paper seller at a traffic light junction at the corner of Calle Juan Diaz de Solis and Ruben Dario in Seville, Spain, was selling his wares on Dec. 3rd when he noticed a small briefcase left on the roof of a car.
The briefcase fell off the car and Peter chased after the car to return the money but he failed to get the attention of the driver.
He then took the briefcase to the police station near the junction.
When police opened the briefcase they found €3,150 in cash and six cheques with a combined value of €13,000 as well as some documents and a mobile telephone.
Peter had left Lagos to London where he lived for two years before coming to spain.
The Police then tracked down the owner of the money who then rewarded Peter with €100.
Peter told the local media: "People say I could have kept the money and then thrown the briefcase away but I am not like that, and God wouldn't have liked that. I am not crazy, I am a good man".
Peter is a Doctor but can't practice his medicine in Spain due to his diploma from Lagos University not being recognised in Spain.
