Fatai Amoo's tutored side got their second back to back home victory as they defeated ElKanemi Warriors of Maiduguri in one of the listed NPFL Week 16 fixtures. Shooting Stars have drawn 4 matches at home this season but there was no such luck for the visitors who remained 3rd on the log with 27 points from 16 matches.
