The team popularly known as Hit Squad scooped 13 medals, one gold, five silver and seven bronze medals. It was a sweet victory for Ajowi in the final match as he defeated African heavyweight champion Yegnong Njieyo Maxime of Cameroon on unanimous points decision. Ajowi’s victory came at the right time to a boxer who dismissed him at the Africa Olympic Qualifiers in Dakar, Senegal last year. Head Coach Musa Benjamin applauded his squad for a job well done and hopes the same performance will be replicated in Paris during the World Olympic Qualifiers in the next three months. The team was using the tournament to shape their skills in readiness for the Olympic Qualifiers.
