Rivers State athlete abandons fight

A Rivers state judoka, Jenigba Ikiriko caused a stir on Monday when she abandoned her bronze medal fight midway.

Ikiriko was leading on points and just needed to complete the fight to get the bronze medal but after the break she refused to continue, thus conceding the bronze medal to her opponent.

She has up till the time of going to press refused to give any reason for her actions.

The rivers state sports director, D. S. Harry told nigeriasports.com Tuesday that he was not aware of any such incident and will get back at me when he confirms the story.

But with the bribery allegations in the air, it is not unlikely that the said Jenigba Ikiriko must have sold her fight for financial gratification.
