Former Katsina United and Enyimba striker (not to be confused with former Super Eagles winger with the same names) grabbed a late match winner for Plateau United to shock defending champions Enugu Rangers right in front of their home fans.
His goal was the product of a brilliant team play as he coolly put away a superb low cutback into the net.
It was his second goal of the season for the 22-year-old forward after he opened his goals account last month against Niger Tornadoes with a header in a 1-1 draw on the road.
He appears to have put behind him a most forgettable season at Enyimba.
The win at Rangers has catapaulted Plateau United five spots clear of the relegation zone as they are now 11th in the standings with 41 points from 31 matches.
They have now been unbeaten in the last four league games.
