Nijenge Boda Boda dealership

The dealership in question, Nijenge is located in Kahawa Wendani where the young man made his unsuspecting purchase.

To the shock of many, the Nijenge dealers are seen laughing at the young man and his counterpart as they exit the dealership premises.

Coincidentally, the dealership is filled with motorcycles both new and secondhand thus capable of reimbursing the afflicted customer.

With the Boda Boda business booming, many have found themselves preyed upon by motorcycle dealers who retail fraudulent bikes.

According to the young man, he was not aware of the fraudulent nature of his newly purchased bike until he went to register it.

With payment made on said motorcycles, the innocent and mostly young entrepreneurs are left to figure things out for themselves.
