A Kano-based tailor has begun an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous sewing marathon by an individual. Abdulkadir Basari, a fashion designer and CEO of Basari Apparels and Textiles Nigeria Limited, is sewing non-stop for 120 hours in what outlets describe as a five-day challenge.
Both reports say the attempt starts on Wednesday, October 7, and is expected to conclude after the full 120-hour period. The coverage focuses on the nature of the task—continuous stitching with the goal of meeting Guinness criteria for duration—and identifies Basari and his business in Kano. One outlet refers to him as Abdulkadir Basari, while the other uses Abdulkadir Hassanul Basari, but both describe the same effort, duration, and objective. Neither source provides confirmed results or Guinness verification at the time of reporting.
