Pelumi Nubi, a Nigerian lady, who embarked on a solo trip from London, the United Kingdom, to Lagos Nigeria, has been denied entry at the Sierra Leonean border.
Newspot reports that Pelumi had on January 30, 2024, commenced the two month solo trip in a car.
However, updating her over 40,000 followers via her Instagram page on Tuesday, Pelumi explained that the country’s officials denied her entry, noting that “right-handed drives” are not allowed in Sierra Leone.
“Access was denied so close to the finish line and I’m facing a tide of challenges that feels relentless. Each border crossing, a battle against multiple red tapes. This time Sierra Leone, they don’t want my ‘right-hand’ drive car to come into their country.
“This is a call to all my virtual family, to send words of encouragement because your support truly means so much to me, and I hope they let me in. For now we are here waiting for some good news.”
After driving for nearly two months, Pelumi is scheduled to arrive in Lagos on March 23.
