If the officials' claims are true, Ms Seyiti could be the oldest person in recorded history in the world. In 2013, Ms Seyiti toppled China's list of the oldest living citizens at the age of 127. A separate footage released by Shule Integrate Media Centre shows a presenter confirming Ms Seyiti to be the oldest living woman in the world. But the Chinese branch of Guinness World Records said that they had not received an application from Ms Seyiti to claim for the title of world's oldest person, according to 163.com. Guinness World Records still has French woman Jeanne Louise Calment as the world's oldest person.
