Abia Warriors are aiming for a second consecutive win following an impressive victory over top-flight debutants Kun Khalifat of Owerri at the Dan Anyiam Stadium. The team will host Warri Wolves at the Umuahia Township Stadium this Sunday.
The Warriors’ recent triumph provided much-needed relief as they ended a five-match winless run. Their thrilling win against the Premier League newcomers boosted team morale and gave fans another reason to celebrate a strong performance in Umuahia.
