While celebrating the girl's expertise, Sunday Dare shared a video clip her showing her skills, adding that his ministry will monitor her progress. The minister said: "Boxing: Here is a clip of Shekinat in the ring. Marvelous footwork, deft punches, and quick reflex. Apart from Shekinat, there are others like Mansurat and 20 young boys and girls who won their fights today. I gave them cash prizes for the first time. The ministry will mentor them".
