The wounded-in-action Nigerian soldiers invited to participate in the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada have won different medals including Gold.
The seventh edition of the games brought together 500 competitors from 23 countries worldwide.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, founded the Games in 2014 for wounded, injured or sick service personnel and veterans.
Despite the visa setbacks, the Nigerian team achieved remarkable success, securing gold, silver, and bronze medals respectively, showcasing their resilience and exceptional performance on the global stage.
The Invictus Games, which celebrate the achievements of wounded soldiers, saw Nigeria proudly representing the continent as the only African nation invited to the prestigious event.
The Africa Unconquered Foundation, in collaboration with the Defence Headquarters, managed to take 14 members of Team Nigeria out of the original 21 competitors. Unfortunately, this did not include the Director of Sports, the team captain, and the physiotherapist, as their visas didn’t come through in time for the games. (TheNation)
