A man has drowned after jumping from a bridge into a river in Liberia's capital, Monrovia, to retrieve a $20 note that he had dropped, police spokesman Moses Carter has said.
Street
hawker Tamba Lamine managed to find the money, and showed it to onlookers but
then drowned, he said.
Mr Lamine was walking with a friend on the
bridge when the note fell.
He felt pressured to get the cash back because
he had to give his friend his $5 "share" of it, Mr Carter said.
The two had jointly sold some merchandise, the
police spokesman added.
