It has taken the Enyimba man just 13 matches to enter double figures this season in the abridged NPFL season.
It is an interesting race for who emerges as the overall top scorer in the 2023 abridged season in the NPFL with Enyimba’s Chukwuemeka Obioma leading the pack.
Obioma added to his goal tally this campaign after scoring his third goal for the former champions in his last four appearances.
