Meanwhile, Temburu Ebere reportedly suffered severe health issues such as headaches, a swollen face, and puffed eyes after his tear-jerking endeavor.

BBC News didn’t explain how Temburu Ebere’s partial blindness happened, but the sensation, according to an article, may occur because of a headache and build-up pressure in the eye.

Unfortunately, Tembu Ebere’s effort was all in vain because he didn’t officially apply for GWR, so his record will not be counted.
