• The billionaire businessman had pledged to reward the national team if they returned from Cape Verde with victory
• After 90 minutes, coach Gernot Rohr and his men secured maximum points as they maintain their leadership on the Group C table

Air Peace Airlines chairman Allen Onyema appears to be a man of his words after redeeming the N20 million naira pledge to the Super Eagles star after beating Cape Verde 2-1 earlier this week.

The three-time African champions came from a goal down to beat their counterpart in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification series.

Victor Osimhen's effort from close range and an own goal from Kenny Santo Rochas ensured coach Gernot Rohr's men triumphed away from home.

Recall that the 57-year-old businessman had promised the national team the lump sum if they come back victorious from their trip.
