One month after appearing in a disturbing video, former professional tennis player Tanya Okpala has returned to the courts.
Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo said in a post on X that Ms Okpala was at a tennis court on Thursday to showcase her skills.
Okpala played with the governor’s wife Nonye Soludo.
“Tania Okpala is back on the courts! A few months ago, social media was flooded with a viral video showing Ms. Tania in a distressing state on the streets of Awka. I am pleased to report that we have successfully restored Tania to her winning ways,” Soludo wrote.
“Today, she was at a lawn tennis court in town to showcase her skills. I sincerely appreciate my darling wife, @NonyeSoludo, for her unwavering commitment to the cause of rehabilitating and reintegrating Tania into society. May Anambra continue to win!”
Okpala represented Nigeria in tennis during the 1990s. She was born to a Belarusian woman and a Nigerian man. The ex-athlete is said to have practised as an immigration lawyer in the United States for some time.
