At Shanghai earlier in the year, the Nigerian was third, finishing with a time of 12.41 seconds.
But she went one step better at the Xiamen Diamond League in China and came second with a time of 12.28 seconds.
That was Nigeria’s first gold medal of the competition. Amusan’s win in Rabat is expected to propel her to the defence of her Commonwealth Games title.
She will compete in the next Wanda Diamond League meet in Rome, Italy, on June 4.
