Embarking on a 200-hour ironing marathon, Dauda Abdulfatai aims to surpass the Guinness World Record currently held by Gareth Sander of the UK for 100 hours.
Commencing the marathon on Wednesday morning at Off Ajaokuta Road, Ganaja Village, Lokoja, Kogi State, Dauda received approval from the Guinness World Records via mail.
He has completed 80 hours out of the proposed 200-hour marathon.
His objective is to break Gareth Sander’s existing record of 100 hours held by the United Kingdom.
In 2015, Gareth Sanders, a 28-year-old cleaning company manager, broke the world record for non-stop ironing by ironing around 2,000 items and continuing for nearly 100 hours.
Last year, Nigerian chef Hilda Bassey, also known as Hilda Baci, set the record for the longest cooking marathon (individual), achieving an impressive time of 93 hours and 11 minutes.
