Selinam vowed to win the NSMQ

Earlier YEN.com.gh reported that Selinam Mortey fulfilled a prophecy he made while in junior high school.

His mother, Elizabeth Mortey, Selinam's older brother, Selassie Mortey, represented PRESEC in 2019, narrowly missing the trophy to Augusco by just 5 points.

She said Selinam, who was in JHS 2, at the time, prophesied that he would attend PRESEC and emerge victorious in the competition, inspired by his brother's miss.
