Euromatch NPFL: Journalists walked out as Enyimba woos deepens

Enyimba FC’s disastrous start to the 2026/2027 NPFL campaign hit a new, humiliating low in Aba. The People’s Elephant didn’t just suffer a shocking 1-0 defeat to newly promoted Lagos-based debutants EuroMatch; they completely lost the plot both on the pitch and behind the scenes.

The Decisive Blow

It took just 13 minutes for the visitors to puncture whatever fragile confidence was left in the Enyimba squad. Moses Ezekiel capitalized on sleepy defending to net the only goal of the game, a strike that proved more than enough to secure a historic three points and send the Lagosians back home grinning. For Enyimba, it was another lifeless performance that left fans staring in disbelief.

Petty Tyranny in the Press Box

Instead of owning up to a rotting team, the club’s media team chose a different battlefield: silencing the messengers.
Before a single ball was kicked, sports journalists Ezenwafor Chukwuemeka (National Concord & Real FM), Chinatu Jon (Real FM), and Samuel Okoro (Magic FM) were unceremoniously

walked out of the Enyimba stadium Their crime? Daring to ask tough, legitimate questions about the club’s stagnation and downward spiral. Labeled “anti-Enyimba” simply for doing their jobs, these Aba-based reporters were shown the door by fragile officials more interested in censorship than accountability.

Boiling Point

This pathetic display of boardroom insecurity only confirms what fans and the media have been shouting from the rooftops:

something is fundamentally broken at Enyimba FC.
Hiding journalists won’t fix a toothless attack, and kicking out the press won’t stop the mounting questions about where this once-mighty club is heading. If management spent half the energy fixing the team that they spend policing questions, Enyimba might not be the laughingstock of the league right now.
