A student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Subair Enitan has landed in hospital after her Guinness World Record attempt.

In a video circulating on X, she is seen on a hospital bed with her hands white and wrinkled.

The 200-level student of Linguistics and African Languages commenced a 50-hour hand wash-a-thon on Friday, November 24 aiming at breaking the World Record.

Enitan aims to set a record for the longest hand-washing of clothes by an individual.

She began the quest at the Student Union Building Motor park inside the University campus with thousands of students rallying around her.

Various students and officials also paid solidarity visits to the venue to cheer her on.

She completed 58 hours around midnight on Monday from where she was taken in the school ambulance to the institution’s clinic for a medical check.

Speaking before heading to the clinic, Enitan said she was fulfilled to have completed the task right in front of her mother, Omogbolabo Afolake, who was at the venue for over two days.

“I am very fulfilled to have completed the task right in front of my mum, friends and colleagues who thronged this venue to show love and support my ambition,” she said.
