Kunle Adeyanju, a man who has ridden from the United Kingdom to Lagos, has encountered another roadblock.
Despite being closer to home, the Nigerian rider encountered difficulty getting into Cote d’Ivoire.
The daring motorcyclist reported in a post on Sunday, May 15, that he was denied entry into the West African country. He did, however, say that Nigerian embassies are investigating the incident.
A photo he uploaded showed him standing with other power motorcycles near the border of Cote d’Ivoire.
