STORYLINE:
Britain's Prince Harry took part in volleyball match on Saturday as he and his wife, Meghan, continued their visit to Nigeria.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are visiting Nigeria to hold talks about the Invictus Games which Harry founded to aid the rehabilitation of wounded and sick servicemembers and veterans.
Harry played in an exhibition volleyball match to great cheer from the crowd, before the pair spoke to those gathered and posed for photos.
Harry served in Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter copilot gunner, after which he founded the Invictus Games in 2014 to offer wounded veterans and servicemembers the challenge of competing in sports events similar to the Paralympics.
Nigeria was among the nations that participated in last year’s edition of the games.
The news of Meghan’s visit excited some in Nigeria where her life - and association with the British royal family - is closely followed.
Meghan has also said in the past that she found out through a genealogy test that she was 43% Nigerian.
The Nigerian military has touted the Invictus Games as one which could help the recovery of thousands of its personnel who have been fighting the homegrown Boko Haram Islamic extremists and their factions since 2009 when they launched an insurgency.
