Ghanaian actor John Dumelo, in Accra, made the journey to the campus of the Presbyterian Boys Senior High (PRESEC) in Legon by walking backward and without wearing any footwear as a result of losing a bet.
The actor made a wager stating that if Presec defeats his former school, Achimota School, in the 2023 National Science & Maths Quiz grand finale, he will walk backwards and without shoes to the Presec campus at Legon.
Once PRESEC made it to the final round of NSMQ2023 alongside Achimota School and Opoku Ware School, the attendee from Achimota School had confidence in their victory.
Consequently, he issued a challenge stating that if PRESEC emerged victorious in the competition, he would walk in reverse direction to the school without any footwear.
Nevertheless, during the final event on Monday, October 30, 2023, PRESEC emerged as the victors, shamefully defeating both Achimota School and Opoku Ware School to claim the highly desired trophy for the eighth time.
After being defeated in the contest, John Dumelo chose to fulfill his commitment made in the wager by walking to Presec barefoot and in reverse.
