Enyimba International have emerged as champions of the Nigeria Premier League for the seventh time after they secured the needed point in their 0-0 draw against hitherto title contenders, Warri Wolves.

With 69 points from 37 games, Enyimba are sure no team can catch up with them when the last set of games are played next weekend.
Before the latest acquisition, Enyimba won the title in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2010. They were African Champions in 2003 and 2004. No other Nigerian club side has won the prestigious CAF Champions League.
