A talented young boy from Obuasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana has been able to make a toy car that is electronic with straw, fruit juice box and some simple electrical items.

In a video that was made public by Factsandtruths_official, it is indicated that the young boy's video was recorded by Elsina Darko, a lady who was amazed by the boy's ingenuity and decided to record it.

The toy car visibly had a wire that connected it to a small board the talented boy used as a remote control to move the tiny vehicle around.

To ensure that the car was actually functioning according to the boy's control, Elsina gave him different instructions on the direction in which to move the car, and interestingly, he did so with no stress.

Further checks made by YEN.com.gh from Elsina Darko reveal that the boy stays at Obuasi-new Estate, attends the Church of Pentecost and schools at Obuasi Presbyterian Primary.

Meanwhile, Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Jr, the CEO of Kantanka Group of Companies, has released a close-range video of the newly-made Kantanka Akofena that was invented in Ghana.

In the post sighted by YEN.com.gh on his personal Twitter page, Kwadwo Safo for the first time showed both internal and external features of the car that has been trending on social media in Ghana for some time.

As YEN.com.gh previously reported, the car was manufactured by Kelvin Odartey, an 18-year-old junior high school (JHS) graduate who produced the brand with scraps and other materials.
