Plateau United took the lead in the 11th minute of the encounter through a well-taken free-kick by Golbe Elisha, the club’s captain.
Kabiru Umar doubled Plateau United’s lead in the 52nd minute during a goalmouth scramble.
The hosts, who were clearly the dominant side, almost made it three in the 57th minute after a cross which the Enyimba goalkeeper had to push over the crossbar.
Umeh Emeka, who came in as a substitute, made it 3-0 in the 80th minute of the match.
Enyimba, however, reduced the deficit through Ikechukwu Ibenegbu less than two minutes after Emeka’s goal.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Plateau United have so far won their two matches in the league, and therefore lead the log with six points.
They had on Sunday defeated Remo Stars 2-1 away in the opening week of the season.
