Young man builds "G-Wagon"

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian man who fabricated a G-Wagon took the vehicle to a comedian (Mama Uka) to check it out.

Mama Uka said many people have been trying to trivialise the man's creativity, saying he used a keke engine for the vehicle.

Similarly, a man in the Sagamu area of Lagos state amazed people with the vehicle he built by himself.

The car looked like a tricycle (keke) from afar. It also has the body of a keke. But unlike it, the car has four wheels and a steering.
