Cars in the convoy of the travellers include a Ford, Lexus and Benz. In one of the photos, the youths stopped in a desert-like area as they topped up fuel in their vehicles.

Man drives danfo bus from London to Lagos
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a Nigerian man had driven a bus from London to Lagos.
In an exclusive interview with Splash FM, Ibadan, Babatunde said that he has been a civil servant in the UK for about 26 years.
When asked why he embarked on the journey, the man said he wanted to promote Nigeria and show that despite everything happening, it is a good place for those in the diaspora to return to. It was also an opportunity to tick it off his bucket list.
