May our good acts not be repaid with ingratitude

It's so bad, but I guess that was his destiny. The most expedient thing that can be done is to open a go-fund-me for him and help him financially. At least if they can raise like 10kUSD for him, he'll use that to step down and start a small business...

An image of a man exchanging a brown envelope with a policewoman is circulating on social media with claims that this shows an African migrant who was deported from Spain after he found money someone had lost and brought it to the police. However, this is misleading: the photo, which was published in 2020, shows the policewoman returning an envelope full of money back to its owner. There is no evidence the man in question was deported.
The claim has been shared in social media posts with varying captions, but they share similarities, including that the story appeared to be a recent incident.

“This african man called Jibril is an immigrant in Valencia, Spain (sic),” reads the caption of one of the Facebook posts in Nigeria, which has been shared more than 800 times since it was published on November 14, 2021. “Jibril picked an envelope containing €4,250 (Over N2.5m) on one of the streets in Valencia few days ago (sic).”

The man in the photo is standing next to a Spanish flag. Above him hangs a portrait of Spain’s king, Felipe VI.

The post goes on to mock the man for purportedly taking the recovered money to the police, who then discovered he was undocumented.

“He was then immediately detained,” it reads. “Sadly, Jibril was last week deported back to his home country in Africa and banned for years without ever stepping a foot in Spain!”

However, AFP Fact Check found that the real story is quite different.

Old story
A reverse image search led to numerous news reports from 2020 featuring the Facebook photo.

Spanish daily newspaper ABC reported on August 14, 2020, that an unknown man found the sum of €4,250 and brought it to the police station, where it was later recovered by the owner — the man in the picture.

“A police woman gives back the money to the man who had lost it,” reads the English translation of the photo’s caption on ABC’s website.

This incident was reported on the same date by other Spanish media outlets, including 20 minutos and elperiòdic. These articles were based on an August 14, 2020 press statement by the Spanish police.

This is not his destiny but a miscalculation on his part
You don't have papers and you have been hiding from the police and you now reported yourself to the police?
