A Nigerian-British travel content creator, Pelumi Nubi driving from London to Lagos, has been involved in a car accident.
This is coming after the content creator arrived in Liberia.
Pelumi via a post on her Instagram page shared a picture of the now-wrecked car she had been using for the trip on Tuesday.
In the video, she was also seen being carried in an ambulance. She accompanied the post with the caption: “Say a prayer for me”.
In November, Nubi announced her intention to embark on a solo trip from London to Lagos.
She announced the trip on January 30.
During the trip, the Nigerian lady will traverse 17 countries beginning from England to France, Spain, and then Morocco.
Nubi will thereafter pass through the West Sahara Desert, Mauritania, Senegal, and Gambia. She will also continue through Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, and Benin, before arriving in Lagos.
The development comes nearly two years after Kunle Adeyanju, the Nigerian tourist, rode a bike from London to Lagos.
Pelumi had initially announced that she would arrive in Lagos on March 23.
However, she said the date had been changed due to border issues she was experiencing in some countries.
She also recently disclosed that she was denied entry at the Sierra Leonian and Liberian borders.
Nubi is making the trip with a Peugeot 107. The vehicle has been customised with features that will enable space for sleeping and dining.
