Loveth Patra Ekufu, also known as ‘The Nigeria Terminator,’ a Deputy Superintendent of the Nigeria Police Force (DSP), and a two-time kickboxing and MMA world champion, has announced her upcoming project for 2024.
Patra, who has garnered international and local recognition for her remarkable talent in kickboxing, outlined the details of her upcoming project, the ‘Celebrity Global Fight Concert.’ This event aims to provide a platform for high-profile individuals, top celebrities, and sports enthusiasts from various professions to connect and network. It is scheduled to take place between November 29th and December 3rd, 2024.
Contrary to its name, the ‘Celebrity Global Fight Concert’ is not solely about fighting; it is a multifaceted event that will encompass activities related to art, entertainment, fashion, and more. Patra emphasized that the goal of the project is to make a positive impact in the community and promote a crime-free environment.
“We intend to create an impact in the community, not just focus on fighting. As martial artists, we are inherently disciplined, and discipline is crucial for success in life. This event is aimed at showcasing talents and providing a platform for individuals to showcase whatever skills they excel in. The event is open to everyone, and admission is free. Qualified participants will have the opportunity to participate in the grand finale,” Patra stated.
Okon Godwin, the President of the Kickboxing Federation of Nigeria, applauds Loveth Patra’s initiative, recognizing its potential to positively influence society. He emphasized that the project aims to steer people away from crime and negative activities, benefitting both men and women.
Vice President of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Zaaky Azay, commended the Nigeria Police for supporting Patra and encouraged them to continue celebrating her achievements. He highlighted the unifying power of sports and called for more support for initiatives that uplift the less privileged in society.
The press conference was attended by various distinguished personalities, including Sir Chris Akwarandu, Mecfanny, Eno Udo, Ambassador Dr. Moji Oyetayo, Zaaki Azay, Ambassador Emmanuel, Olusesan Olukoya, among others.
Ambassador Cornell Uduofia, Founder of CMC and the Public Relations strategist for the event, expressed gratitude to all partners and supporters, emphasizing the positive impact the event would have on Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
