Abia Warriors technical adviser, Imama Amapakabo has blamed defensive mistakes for his team’s defeat to Katsina United.

Uche Collins’ brace gave Katsina United a 2-0 win over Abia Warriors in Kano on Sunday.

The defeat extends Abia Warriors winless run to three games.

Amapakabo promised to improve on the lapses identified ahead of their next game.

“In the last three games we have conceded five goals. My concern is those goals conceded are technical mistakes,” Amapakabo remarked.

“We have to go review personals and correct the loopholes which will give us ideas on how to make up for situations like this.

“We gave a short character in training which has affected our defence line.”

Abia Warriors dropped fifth position on the league table with 38 points following the defeat.

Ifeanyi Onyebuchi has revealed that he turned down a move to the Tunisian Premier League to remain with Rangers.

Onyebuchi said he was determined to prove his loyalty to the Flying Antelopes.

The experienced defender recently rejoined the eight-time NPFL champions for the second stanza of the season.

“Rangers is not just a club, it means a lot to me, “Onyebuchi told the Nigerian Player Gallery.

“For sure I will leave the club when the time comes but for now am going nowhere. We will see what will happen at the end of the season.

“If a better offer comes I will speak with the club and I believe I will leave happily. I want to say good bye to our fans in a respectful way at the cathedral, because they gave me everything.”
