Patrons of the 10th Africa Armwrestling Championships ongoing in Bamako, Mali had to run for their lives after a confusion ensued during the award ceremony.
A stampede ensued during the commencement of the medal Ceremony where some heavily built thugs came in unceremoniously causing a chaotic scene and bringing the whole ceremony to an abrupt end on Sunday.
No member of Ghana’s Golden Arms suffered any injuries as they managed to leave the event grounds unharmed.
The Golden Arms per the medal table placed 3rd out of the 12 Countries that participated. The team won a total of 16 medals comprising 9 Gold, 5 Silver and 2 Bronze.
The Golden Arms will arrive home from Mali on Monday 15th July, 2019 at 1:20 PM.
