KAB-FAM, headline sponsor of the Ghana Music Awards-UK ‘Buy And Fly To London’ promotion, has presented prizes to the winners at a ceremony held at offices of KAB-FAM at East Legon in Accra.
The presentation ceremony saw KAB-FAM ambassador, Mikki Osei Berko, known in the showbiz scene as Dada Boat present various prizes to the lucky winners.
Police Constable, Adjetey Richard Morgan, who emerged the ultimate winner was presented with documents to facilitate his trip to the United Kingdom to watch Ghana Music Awards-UK (GMA-UK) in London together with his wife.
The first runner-up, Jacqueline Dufu, took home a table top fridge, whilst the third runner-up, Stella Asiedu took home a 32 inch Nasco Led television as her prize.
Glad Adongo and Isaac Nsobila who emerged fourth and fifth respectively took home Toshiba microwaves.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mikki Osei Berko said out of thousands of receipts received from the company’s twelve (12) branches, the five emerged winners of the promotion after a live draw.
He revealed that more promotions would be introduced before the end of the year, and called on customers to be on the watch out.
The ultimate winner, Constable Morgan, revealed that he was skeptical when informed he had won the trip to UK, however, his disbelief was later confirmed.
“Initially, I didn’t believe, I thought it was one of those things, however it later turned out to be true upon hearing the voice of Mikki Osei Berko in a telephone call,” he disclosed.
The winners expressed their appreciation to KAB-FAM for redeeming their promise to customers, and urged others to fully participate in the upcoming ones.
This year’s edition of the GMA-UK would be held in London on Saturday, October 9.
