New signing Junior Lokosa scored twice as former champions Kano Pillars added to the misery of struggling Sunshine Stars with a 3-1 win in the Nigeria Professional Football League.

The win lifted the four-time Nigerian champions to ninth in the standings, while Sunshine sit in the relegation zone.

Pillars opened scoring in the first minute through Nwagua Nyima to set the tone for an interesting game.

Thereafter Lokosa found the net in the 16th and 41st minutes to take the game beyond the visitors’ reach.
