October with the judging panel made up of Ini Edo,

pageant in the UK, with over a thousand applications
received in 2013. Miss Black Africa is also the current
holder of the BEFFTA Best Beauty Pageant in the UK Award.

Miss Black Africa pageant director Dele Onabowu said " I
am sure that the girls in question did not try to flout the
rules. This is a case of failing to read our terms and
conditions when applying. Our online application form
makes it impossible to submit your entry without first
confirming that you have read and understood our terms
and conditions. Next to the checkbox is a link to our terms
and conditions. The Miss Black Africa organisation takes it's
rules, terms and conditions very seriously.

This is an
unfortunate incident for everyone involved but we have to
move on from this point".

As a result of this development, the 2nd runner up, Sonia
Ike from Nigeria has been crowned the new Miss Black
Africa UK, Alexalyn Owuadey from Ghana - 1st Runner Up
and Tara Daviess the 2nd Runner Up.

19 year Old Sonia Ike has now been crowned and says
that she can't wait to start her charity project in Nigeria.
