He put Napoli in front at 2-1 in the 31st minute, got his brace 10 minutes later, before he made the game safe for his club two minutes after the restart.
He also provided the assist for Napoli fifth goal.
Incidentally, Osimhen first hat-trick was against the same team last season.
Osimhen has now scored 11 goals this season.
He has now netted five goals in three matches since his return from the recent AFCON with the Super Eagles.
The win lifts Napoli above Lazio in eighth place with 40 points from 26 matches.
However, they remain well outside the six-team bracket for European football places.
