El-Kanemi Warriors lanky forward, Chinedu Ohanachom has set a 17 goal target for himself after netting his first goal of the season against  Enyimba FC in a Match Day 5 of the 2015/2016 Nigerian Professional Football League Season.

Ohanachom was among the scorers as El-Kanemi defeated Enyimba by 2-0.

Ohanachom kept his promise by scoring the first goal for El-Kanemi, firing in from close range after receiving a pass from Isaac Hele Hele. Ibrahim Mustapha scored the second goal from a scramble to hand the host their first win of the season.

"This is my first goal of the season and i look forward to scoring 17 goals this season. I am also happy to be the man of the match, it is good to know that people watched and actually appreciated my efforts".

Ohanachom joined El-kanemi Warriors from FC Taraba last season and has since become a regular feature in the Warriors strike force.
