The world championships long jump silver medal winner last year in Moscow leapt a distance of 6.86m to win the event and the maximun four points on offer.
Okagbare also took full advantage of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pyrce's absence to win the 200m in a 22.36 meeting record.
Both mark and time are personal season's best for the double IAAF World Championships medallist. Her 22.36 run is also her third fastest time ever in the event.
