A 65-year-old herbalist, Alhaji Ayana Yakubu, has been gifted a vehicle and an undisclosed sum of money by an anonymous philanthropist after completing a remarkable 40-hour, 31-minute walk from Kumasi in the Ashanti Region to Accra.
The walk, which ended on January 7, was undertaken to celebrate the peaceful atmosphere during Ghana's recent general election.
Alhaji Yakubu's journey, which spanned over 200 kilometres, was a personal tribute to the discipline and peaceful behaviour exhibited by Ghanaians during the elections period.
Handing over the vehicle to him at a short ceremony held at the Black Star Square in Accra, media personality and fashion designer, Mr Kofi Okyere Darko, popularly known as KOD, presented a Renault Kwid vehicle to Alhaji Yakubu on behalf of the anonymous philanthropist.
