A Kogi man made up his mind to iron clothes non-stop for 200 hours in order to break Guinness world record. It is worthy of note that the record had been set by Uk's Gareth Sandars who ironed for 100 hours.

However, the man from Kogi, Abdulfattah El-Okene was advised to stop per a report from his doctor. He had already surpassed the previous record at the time of stopping as he had clocked 142 hours of ironing non-stop.

The Kogi man aired his view on the microblogging platform X formerly known as Twitter. In his words he wrote, "Good morning, fellow Nigerians. I wish to announce to everyone I have abruptly halted my pursuit of the 200-hour ironing marathon in the Guinness World Records quest. My decision, citing medical reasons and reports from my health team, comes after I surpassed 142 hours in the ironing marathon, I have already surpassed the 2015 record held by Gareth Sanders for a 100-hour ironing marathon from the UK. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout this journey."
