Man to ride bike from London to Lagos for charity

A Nigerian man is riding a motorbike from London to Lagos to raise funds for charity.

Kunle Adeyanju tweeted that the 12,000km (7,500 mile) ride was expected to last for 25 days, taking him through France, Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Mali, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo and Benin, before he crosses into Nigeria.

Mr Adeyanju said the money he raises would be spent on health, water and sanitation projects. He would give a 10% “match grant for every donation”.
