A Nigerian woman who was attempting to reach a 72-hour body world record for massage on individuals collapsed during the process.
Joyce Ijeoma who had set out to achieve the feat was streaming live the attempt at a venue in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
Ijeoma started on her record breaker attempt on Saturday, July 1, 2023.
“A special invite to you all as I attempt to set a new record for longest massage on different individuals. Please come through for me.
Your support and physical presence would be very much appreciated. Come with your family friends even your enemies,” she wrote on Instagram.

She had already crossed 50 hours before her collapse on Tuesday, according to local media reporting.
Some media outlets shared videos of the lady fainting and being helped by an assistant during a live streaming session.

The previous record was set in 2015 by Alastair Galpin in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Galpin currently holds the record for the longest full-body massage in 25 hours and 4 minutes.
Last month another Nigerian Hilda Baci was confirmed to have broken the world record for the longest cook-a-thon that she organised in May.
She was declared a record-breaker and given her certificate in June by the Guinness World Record team.
