Contestant Chinedu beat the two other finalists, Cosy Joe and Afolabi Emmanuel to the ultimate prize by being the only person to complete the final task of retrieving the General’s War Helmet.
The victory came after the 24-year-old graduate of Petroleum & Gas at the University of Port Harcourt successfully navigated his way through the forest and managed to row his canoe across the heavy currents of Aguleri River.
The other two warriors failed in the bid to get to the mysterious destination across the waters. With this achievement, Chinedu, who is a native of Anambra State, will exchange the treasure for a whopping N10million and a brand new SUV.
As soon as Chinedu located & retrieved the General’s War Helmet, the show’s anchor, Chidi Mokeme inducted him into the exclusive Order of Heroes as the 11th ‘Ultimate Man’.
The other finalists will get cash prizes for the positions in which they finished. Meanwhile, Otto Canon has emerged winner of the Viewers’ Choice award, thus becoming the proud owner of a brand new SUV in addition to the prize money he gets for being the 3rd runner up. Samantha Appi, who emerged as ‘the Last Woman Standing’ also gets a reward of a brand new 2014 Urban Ford Ecosport SUV in addition to the prize money earmarked for her as a contestant on the show.
The Winner’s Party has been fixed for Saturday, November 1, 2014 and is billed to hold at the Women Development Centre in Awka. To get an invite, follow the conversation on social media with #GUSTheMission.
