Super Falcons defender and Ondo state indigene, Tosin Demehin, has been gifted N30 million and a house at Sunshine Estate, Oba-Ile, by the Ondo state governor, Luck Aiyedatiwa, for her outstanding performance at the just-concluded 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The Governor made this known during the civic reception in Akure in honour of the Ondo state indigenes who were part of the victorious Super Falcons.
“This is a proud moment for us. Tosin Demehin has made Ondo state proud on the continental stage. As a token of our appreciation, the state government is awarding her N30 million and a house at Sunshine Estate, Oba-Ile,” he said.
