Oluwole set out to raise money for a local hospital in his hometown, Ijebu-Ode, by taking on this task.

GWR also noted Oluwole’s accomplishment and said he smashed the record considerably.

Announcing Oluwole’s feat, GWR wrote: “Before no one in the past has broken this record by such a large margin as Oside has. It was first set in 2010 with a time of 24 hours and gradually increased to 50 hours after being beaten seven times in 11 years.”
