The match at the Lafia Township Stadium on Sunday reflected the hosts’ growing confidence as they seized full control early.

Anas Yusuf struck twice for the Solid Miners, scoring in the 38th and 46th minutes to energise the home crowd.

Garba Mohammed added a third in the 48th minute, sealing the result and securing all available points for the Lafia side.

The win marked a notable turnaround for a team that had recently slipped down the league table in frustrating fashion.

Nasarawa United returned to the top of the NPFL standings with 27 points, while Elkanemi sit 12 with 18 points.

Technical Adviser Mbwas Mangut praised his players, saying their improved ball circulation made a clear difference throughout the contest.

“We tried something different today and it worked,” Mangut said, expressing delight at securing maximum points from the encounter.

He added that the team would approach each match with seriousness and discipline to protect their position on the table.

Elkanemi’s Technical Adviser, Kabiru Dogo, described the outing as one of their poorest performances of the season.

Dogo said football occasionally delivered such results, stressing that the league remained a marathon rather than a sprint.

He said his side would push harder in upcoming matches to remain competitive until the final week of the campaign.

The incident also left many injured and property destroyed.

The NSCIA expressed the sympathy in a statement issued on Friday by its Deputy Secretary-General, Prof. Salisu Shehu.

The council also commiserated with the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Umar ibn Garbai Elkanemi.

“May Allah give you the fortitude to bear this monumental trial,” NSCIA prayed.

The group commended the efforts and the empathy of the federal and Borno State governments on the matter.

“We, however, wish to implore them to further deploy all their machineries, particularly the entire emergency management agencies and most importantly the Northeast Development Commission to ensure that this disaster is efficiently managed to reduce the sufferings of the thousands of the victims. Also, governments at all levels should put in place necessary measures to avert the recurrence of such unfortunate incidents,” NSCIA said.

The group asserted that it was sad that the unfortunate development happened at a time when Nigerians generally were grappling to survive, owing to the effect of the current economic reforms by the federal government.

It is “a tragedy too many,” the council declared.

The council prayed that Almighty Allah should repose the souls of the departed and grant the injured quick recovery.

It also prayed that Allah would replenish those who had lost their wealth and property.

The group said: “At the end, we wish to remind our brothers and sisters with the verse below: “And surely, We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops, but give glad tidings to the steadfast. Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! We are from Allah and lo! Unto Him we are returning.” (Suratul Baqarah: 155 & 156).
