The elder Ibojo, Adebola won gold in the 100 and 200m race for Junior Secondary School, JSS 1-3. He also set a new school record in the 100m Intermediate race.
The last of the trio, Adeola won two gold medals in the Busting of Balloons and 50m race.
Speaking at the end of the highly competitive sporting event, the father of the budding athletes, Franklin expressed joy at the performance of his children and said that their performance was not a fluke but a result of hard work and consistency.
An elated Franklin said “I’m happy with the performance of my kids, they are a pride of any parent and I see them not only representing Nigeria in international sporting events and also winning laurels for the country in the nearest future.”
