As part of its Le2 billion mega prize promotion, Africell Lintel Sierra Leone Thursday presented one hundred million leones to a petty trader Fatmata Conteh of 3 Sanda Lane in Magburaka.

The presentation ceremony took place at the Magburaka Secondary School for Boys and was witnessed by Africell subscribers in the township.

Vice principal of the school Francis Melvin Sankoh thanked Africell for bringing such an innovation for beneficiaries.

Local unit commander in Magburaka chief superintendent Alfred Karrow Kamara said he was impressed with the management and staff of Africell.

He said the company should put a mechanism in place to monitor winners on how they use their money.

The winner Fatmata Conteh said she was happy with the money she had won from Africell.

"I will always be grateful to Africell. I will utilize the money well," she said.
