But a resilient Bendel Insurance won’t bow to pressure coming from the former CAF Champions League winners. The Benin Arsenal took hold of Enyimba’s ferocious goalscorer Obioma Chukwuemeka. So, he couldn’t find the back of the net; but surely he will return to scoring goals sooner than later.
Obioma is the current highest goalscorer in the Nigeria Premier Football League.
The 24-year-old has scored 7 goals in 8 matches. But was caged in Benin; and couldn’t do much to help his side avoid defeat.
