Jersey farcas divides fans at Teslim Balogun stadium

– Segun Toriola’s doubles men game with Ojo Onaolapo in the ongoing Premier Lotto Tennis Open in Lagos was almost disqualified 

– Fans came to the rescue of Ojo Onaolapo who did not have his name written on his jersey which should have merited disqualification 

A situation arose in the Molade Okoya Thomas indoor sports halls of the Teslism Balogun stadium when Ojo Onaolapo’s men doubles game with Segun Toriola against their Egyptian opponents was suspended.

Ojo was asked to put a name on his jersey which he couldn’t do at first until fans in the sports hall notified the official that an opponent playing Nigeria in another court did not have a name on his jersey.
