3rd BRF Wrestlemania Begins Today

Professional wrestlers across the country and some neighbouring African countries will storm Mobolaji Johnson Sports Complex, Rowe Park, Yaba, Lagos as the third edition of BRF Wrestlemania begins Friday and ends on Sunday.

 

The competition, which is being organised by a Local Organising Committee, LOC, led by Primate Charles Odugbesi, is staged in the last three years, to honour the sports loving Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola.

 

Wrestlers from Congo Democratic Republic, Congo Brazzaville, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Angola and Cameroon are coming for this event, while some of them have already landed in Lagos.

 

Coordinator of the tournament, which has received the blessing of Nigeria Pro Wrestling Federation, Prrince Hammed Olanrewaju Mohammed said that Rowe Park and its environs will be a beehive of activities from Friday as they will witness the best of wrestling action more than the WWE show they usually watch on television.

 

Chairman of the LOC, Primate Odugbesi, said that all is set for the championship. He called on Lagosians to troop out en masse to Rowe Park to be part of the competition.

 

“This edition will be special because the Governor himself has promised that he would personally come to watch the final on Sunday at Rowe Park, while majority of the chairmen and chairperson of local governments and local council development areas have given us the assurance that they will storm the venue to watch the best of professional wrestling at the 3rd BRF Wrestlemania,” he said.
