Kunle's Sahara Desert encounter

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Kunle went from Laayoune to Naouadhibour, covering more than 1,000 kilometres.

In a post on Monday, May 2, the relentless rider said the ride would be his longest since he started out on the journey.

Kunle revealed that when he stopped and wanted to make a video in the Sahara desert, soldiers who passed by him laughed and wondered if he is okay because of the uncanny nature of the Sahara. Attesting to how very dangerous the place could be, he said he heard voices around him.
