Yobe photographer eyes Guinness World Record

A Yobe-based photographer, Saidu Abdulrahman, has captured 897 pictures in 60 minutes, in his quest to surpass the existing Guinness World Record of 500.

The record-breaking attempt took place in the presence of Yobe government officials, students and well wishers on wednesday in Potiskum Local Government Area of the state.

Abdulrahman, 28, said the feat was achieved after 12 months of preparation, and expressed optimism of receiving formal recognition by the Guinness World Record.

“I snapped 897 pictures in one hour, surpassing our target of 600 in spite of numerous challenges,” he said.

Abdulrahman is poised to etch his name in the Guinness World Record, to further cement Yobe’s presence on the global stage.
