ABUJA : Nigerian sprinter Deji Aliu smashed the 10-second barrier to win the men's 100 metres at the All Africa Games in a sparkling time of 9.95sec.

Aliu's new Games record was enough to hold off his Nigerian teammate Uchenna Emedolu, who took silver in 9.97, while reigning champion Leonard Myles-Mills of Ghana got the bronze in 10.03.

Mary Omagbemi won the women's 100m title to make it a Nigerian sprint double as Endurance Ojokolo ran the same time of 11.26sec, but the computer gave a slight edge to Omagbemi.

Ghana's Vida Anim came third to pick the bronze.
