After reaching the 120 km mark, she walked an additional 10 km, completing a total of 2,058 laps within the facility.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Ayelabola shared that her record attempt aimed to highlight Nigeria’s creativity and fashion industry on a global scale.

She said, “I’m not walking for myself alone. I am walking for many models who have been limited by stereotypes and standards set by rigid systems. I am also walking to showcase the creativity of the Nigerian fashion industry.”

Ayelabola’s achievement is currently pending verification and confirmation by Guinness World Records (GWR).

Her new record surpasses the previous one held by Roberta Brown and Lorraine McCourt, who walked 114.4 km (71.1 miles) in Dublin, Ireland, on September 21, 1983.
