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”.

Tweeter Christopher D wished Mr Adeyanju a safe ride, saying he had skipped an opportunity to ride from London to Cape Town two years ago because he was scared.
“My colleagues who went have memories to last them a lifetime and it went well and safely without any major issues. So ride on sir .. I’ll follow your progress,” Christopher D said.
