Late Jibrin Strike Seals Dramatic Win for Wikki Tourists Over Niger Tornadoes

Posted : 10 November 2025

The Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium was a cauldron of noise on Sunday evening as substitute Nasiru Jibrin (“Baggio”) struck an 87th-minute winner to hand Wikki Tourists a thrilling 1–0 victory over Niger Tornadoes in their 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 12 clash.

The Bauchi Elephants dominated the contest from start to finish, controlling possession and carving out numerous scoring opportunities. However, wasteful finishing and a resolute Tornadoes backline kept the scoreline goalless for much of the game.

Just when it seemed destined to end in frustration, Jibrin — introduced late in the second half — produced a moment of brilliance, firing home the decisive goal that sent the home fans into wild celebration.

After the match, an elated Coach Abdu Maikaba praised his players for their resilience and fighting spirit, dedicating the victory to God Almighty.

“It was a tough one, but the boys showed great spirit and composure,” Maikaba said. “We’ll now shift focus to our next game against Enyimba in Aba, and our goal is to maintain this winning mentality.”

The result extends Wikki Tourists’ unbeaten home run this season and provides a morale boost ahead of their upcoming away fixture against Enyimba International FC in Aba next weekend.
