Despite settling his future with Sunshine stars, striker Israel Abia is yet to score a goal in 4 games consecutively for the Akure gunners in the NPFL but the striker’s 7 goals however still tops the scorers chart for the season.
Abia is joined at the top of the chart by Katsina United’s captain, Taisu Lawal and Ibrahim Mustapha of Plateau United who netted a brace in their 5-0 thrashing of Adamawa United yesterday. Following closely with 6 goals remains Enyimba’s Victor Mbaoma who has not found the back of the net with the poor run of form of the defending champions in recent weeks.
