Recall Ikechukwu Ibenegbu did described the claims of an attack on the Warri Wolves top shot Moses Etu as false.
“I only walked to him to know why he has refused to pay me my hard earned five-match bonuses as player of the side," he stated.
Christian Pyagbara had put the home side in front scoring just a minute into the game, but Wolves cancelled the lead in the 44th minute through Shedrack Oghu, who capitalised on ThankGod Ike’s mistake to beat Theophilus Afelokhai.
As the game was poised at 1-1 when Abalogu prodded Chima Akas’ free kick home.
The Warri boys were made to play 10 against 11 when Solomon Okpako got the marching orders in the 75th minute, but the hosts could not make the most of their numerical advantage.
