Nine-time champions Enyimba also kept pace with the top four with a 2-1 win at home against Abia Warriors in the Abia Derby. Eze Ekwutoziam and Chidiebere Nnachi gave the People’s Elephant a two-goal cushion before Augustine Njoku scored a consolation for Warriors in stoppage time.

Elsewhere in Benin, a 4th minute penalty was the difference between Bendel Insurance and Sunshine Stars as the Benin Arsenal beat their visitors who were attacked by gunmen on their way to honour the fixture 1-0.

Akwa United also won for the first time in four games thanks to Seye Oguntayo’s first half strike which secured a 1-0 victory for Fatai Oso’s men against Lobi Stars. Ekeson Okorie also scored a brace as Bayelsa United beat Enugu Rangers 2-0 in Yenagoa.
