Ajani Ibrahim banged his 12th goal as Sunshine Stars shot to the summit of the NPL with a 2-0 home win over Niger Tornadoes.

Sunshine thus toppled erstwhile leaders Dolphin as they now have 54 points from 26 matches, a point more than the Port Harcourt outfit.

The goal scorers for the Akure club against Tornadoes were recent signing Atanda Sakibu and Ajani, who found target from the penalty spot in the second half.

Kaduna United stayed in 10th place on the back of a lone goal victory over visiting Heartland FC on a rainy day in Kaduna.

Benjamin Ishaya grabbed the only goal for the hosts on 15 minutes, when he latched on to a rebound inside the box to fire home after the goalkeeper failed to hold on to the ball first time.

Kaduna were reduced to 10 men in the 80th minute when skipper Papa Idris was sent off for an early shower for dangerous play as the heavy downpour in Kaduna took the shine off this encounter.

Kaduna have recorded 39 points from 25 matches, while Heartland are two spots below on 34 points.

Results of rescheduled matches:
Week 24 – Kaduna Utd 1 Heartland 0
Week 27 – Sunshine 2 Tornadoes 0
