Edo State has emerged victorious at the inaugural Governor Otti National Senior Judo Championship, finishing at the top of the standings at the newly introduced competition.
According to Punch, the Edo judo team outperformed rivals from across the country to clinch the overall title at the maiden national tournament.
The championship, named in honour of Governor Alex Otti, provided a competitive stage for senior judokas to display their grappling techniques and test themselves on the national circuit.
Edo State sports contingents have long maintained a strong profile in domestic martial arts and combat sports tournaments across Nigeria, frequently contending for top positions at national sports festivals and single-sport championships.
Further details regarding the host venue, individual bout results, and final medal distribution from the championship are expected to be officially released by the organizers as the inaugural event wraps up.
