Gbenga Arowora, Press Officer, Ministry of Youth and Sports Ogun State, says they have written a petition to the Local Organising Committee of the Edo 2020 National Sports Festival over what they perceived as poor officiating in the boxing event on Tuesday.
There was pandemonium at the Oba Akenzua Cultural Centre after the bout between Lagos boxer Shittu Afolabi and Ogun boxer Kasali Abayomi in the 52kg, which ended 3-2 in favour of Team Lagos.
Speaking with The PUNCH, Arowora said a petition had been sent to the LOC to have them take a look at the result.
