126-year-old Nigerian man discovered in Imo state
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man who is 126-year-old had been discovered in Imo state.
In September 2021, Ephraim shared a video on LinkedIn of his grandfather cutting wood with a cutlass without being aided.
The young man revealed that his grandfather, a native roof maker, is still very strong that he rides his bicycle himself. He added that the old man was a local wrestler when he was younger and has never cheated anyone.
In a recorded telephone conversation at the behest of Legit.ng's Victor Duru, Luke who spoke in Igbo affirmed that he is 126 years old. The native of Aboh Mbaise in Imo however stated that he, unfortunately, cannot share his birth certificate with Legit.ng as he cannot find it.
