Arsenal Fan's Reward for Loyalty

Alhaja Hasaan Nosimot Amoke, a 77-year-old woman from Surulere, has been rewarded for her unwavering support for Arsenal with a KSh 70,000 cheque and a promised trip to the Emirates Stadium.

She gained popularity on social media after being caught on camera analysing Arsenal's game against Manchester City, and was later hosted at her house when she was presented with the cheque.

According to reports, Mama Amoke was also handed an ambassadorial role by the Authentic Nigeria Football Supporter's club, and was presented with a warm reception at her residence on Saturday, July 11.

She was grateful when Chelsea defeated Manchester City, which she believed would boost Arsenal's chances of playing in Europe next season.

As a testament to her deep knowledge of the Gunners, she mentioned former Arsenal players who left the team for another club, including Olivier Giroud and Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi.
