A Nigerian lady identified as Pelumi Nubi, who embarked on a solo trip from London, the United Kingdom, to Lagos Nigeria, is currently experiencing a hitch.
According to her, she was denied entry into the Sierra Leone at the country’s border because “right-handed drives” are not allowed in the West African country.
Pelumi, had on January 30, 2024, announced she commenced the two month solo trip in a car.

However, updating her over 40,000 followers via her Instagram page on Tuesday, she explained that immigration officials in Sierra Leone denied her entry into their country.
Speaking via her verified social media page, Pelumi wrote: “Access was denied so close to the finish line and I’m facing a tide of challenges that feels relentless. Each border crossing, a battle against multiple red tapes. This time Sierra Leone, they don’t want my ‘right-hand’ drive car to come into their country.
“This is a call to all my virtual family, to send words of encouragement because your support truly means so much to me, and I hope they let me in. For now we are here waiting for some good news.”
After driving for nearly two months, Pelumi is scheduled to arrive in Lagos on, Saturday, March 23.
