The Guinness World Records organization has finally spoken out about the 120-hour cook-a-thon carried out by Nigerian chef, Damilola Adeparusi. According to the organization, the chef did not seek approval before starting the cook-a-thon, disregarding the procedures and rules that would have been provided to her. It should be noted that Chef Dammy began her cook-a-thon in Ekiti state with the goal of surpassing Hilda Baci’s 100-hour cooking record.

“We have not received an application for this attempt. Applications can be made via the Guinness World Records website for our records management team to review.
“Once an application is accepted, the record claimant receives a set of detailed guidelines specific to that record category that must be adhered to.
“This also details a list of evidence that must be submitted for our team to verify the record. Guinness World Records maintains a rigorous review process to maintain the integrity of each Guinness World Records title.”
Reports suggest that Chef Dammy was encouraged to take on the cooking challenge by her pastor, who wanted to bring recognition to both the chef and his church. While Hilda Baci’s record was officially recognized by the Guinness World Records yesterday, Dammy received a negative response as the organization claimed to have no knowledge of her undertaking.
