Dauda Abdulfatai, a Nigerian, has given up on his quest to establish a Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest clothing ironing.
Abdulfatai has previously shown interest in starting a 200-hour clothing ironing challenge in Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State.
Tuesday marked the end of the ironing session, which started on January 10 and lasted for more than 142 hours straight.
In an update on his official X, Abdulfatai stated that health issues and advice from his medical team prevented him from reaching his goal.
“I wish to announce to everyone that I have abruptly halted my pursuit of the 200-hour ironing marathon in the Guinness World Records quest.
“My decision, citing medical reports from my health team, comes after I surpassed 142 hours in the ironing marathon. I have ironed 2249 garments during my attempt,” he wrote.
