Nigerian masseuse, Joyce Ijeoma, who embarked on 72 hours of body massage on different individuals, has collapsed.
Ijeoma collapsed in the Ikate area of Lekki, Lagos State, on Tuesday at 1 am.
She made it to 53 hours and was 19 hours away from breaking the record.
As of the time of filing this report, Ijeoma was yet to return to the venue and had stopped the live coverage.
The previous record was set in 2015 by Alastair Galpin in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Galpin currently holds the record for the longest full-body massage in 25 hours and 4 minutes.
Beginning 29 November 2015 at 12:14 p.m. and ending 30 November at 1:18 p.m., Galpin performed a full-body massage on Nila Adha, having a 15-minute break every 8 hours.
The young masseuse went viral after a video of her announcement surfaced on Sunday. The trending video revealed her intentions to attempt the massage-a-thon challenge for 72 hours.

The event began on Saturday, the 1st of July, and will end on Monday if her calculations go right.
In preparation for her record-breaking feat, the Lagos-based lady claimed she conducted over 18 hours of massage on different individuals.
Via her Instagram page, she wrote: “A special invite to you all as I attempt to set a new record for the longest massage on different individuals.
“Please come through for me. Your support and physical presence would be very much appreciated. Come with your family, friends, and even your enemies.”
