Although it might not look different to the original hybrid, the Microsoft Surface Book 2 comes with design upgrades and boasts solid build.

A Nigerian man identified as “Mr_hyenana”, succeeded in scaring the attendants at Lekki toll gate with fake ‘Juju’ and they allowed him to go without paying any fare in order to avoid any kind of trouble.
In the video footage, Mr_hyenana can be seen saying some funny Yoruba incantations, when the ticketer stretched her hand to collect the money.
The man then used the money to rub his body and tried to hand over the money to the ticketer.
The female ticketer who was obviously scared and does not want trouble, closed the window and told the prankster to go without paying.
See the hilarious video here:
