Former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel on Wednesday extended his philanthropy to physically-challenged sports people in Lagos as he made a cash donation of N2m and five wheelchairs to two Para-soc

cer teams.

The arrival of Mikel and his team led by Fadekemi Ahmed, CEO and Founder, of Avianna & Harvey Entertainments at Ojo Street in the heart of the densely-populated Obalende area of Lagos was greeted with wide jubilations as the fans jostled to catch a glimpse of one of Africa’s most-accomplished football star.

After enjoying the thrilling encounter between the Oyingbo Para-Soccer team and their Lagos Island counterparts, Mikel rewarded both teams with N1m while he also gave three wheelchairs to the winning team and two to the losing side. “I thoroughly enjoyed the game between the two teams and I am happy I can reciprocate by making the players smile also with the donations made” he added.
