With the clock ticking away and Enyimba gunning for another point on the road, Idris Guda Mohammed dashed their hopes when he blasted a shot from outside the box in the 88th minute to make it 2-1.
At the dot of 90th minutes, Obaje then put the icing on the cake scoring from the spot after he was infringed inside the box on his way to goal.
The Bauchi side who are on 31 points with Rivers United are top courtesy of a 16 goals difference as against the Garden City team's five, while Enyimba and Kano Pillars are placed 3rd and 4th position.
