MP floors Policeman in Armwrestling Challenge

Residents of La and environs were on Saturday treated with a very competitive but fun-filled armwrestling competition.

Hundreds gathered to witness the 2018 K-Balm Armwrestling Challenge at the forecourt of the Accra’s premier pharmaceutical shop, KofiKrom Pharmacy.

A lot of people including security personnel, professional armwrestlers, politicians, and celebrities took their turns to show their armwrestling prowess but one contest that stood out was the battle between the Member of Parliament of Ledzokuku, Dr. Bernard Oko-Boye and Inspector Tony Mensah of the Ghana Police Service.

The Police officer was tipped to floor the politician but Dr. Oko-Boye pulled off a victory that stunned the crowd.

Tahiru Mohammed emerged the overall winner of the competition after defeating Randolph Welbeck in the men 19kilograms category.
