Nigerian dancer Benjamin Daniel, popularly known as Ben Dancer, has completed a seven-day dance marathon in Lagos as part of an attempt to establish a Guinness World Records title.
Ben Dancer completed more than 176 hours of dancing during the marathon, according to Punch Newspapers, which reported the completion of the challenge on September 29.
The marathon was held in Lagos and lasted seven days, with the dancer maintaining the performance for more than 176 hours.

The latest development adds to a growing list of Nigerians attempting to gain international recognition through endurance and creative challenges.
Ben Dancer's performance has also generated interest among entertainment audiences and social media users following the completion of the seven-day challenge.
