Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) leaders, Kano Pillars were brought down from their Olympian height on Sunday evening by Dakkada FC at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
A superlative second half performance saw Dakkada FC rally to a 3-2 win at home against the Sai Masu Gida.
The Kano team fresh from their win at home to Sunshine Stars were hoping to consolidate their spot on top of the NPFL log going into the fixture, while the home side hoped to bounce back from the disappointing defeat away to Heartland on Thursday.
The home side were without captain, Aniekan Ekpe who was suspended following his red card in Owerri on Matchday 12.
Last week Thursday, Nigerian Professional Football League side, Wikki Tourists, were involved in a road accident on their way to Uyo for their NPFL Match Day 11 tie against Dakkada FC.
The bus, which was conveying the players and officials of the club, caught fire and burnt to ashes at Hawan Kibo, Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The occupants of the bus managed to escape but most of their properties like playing boots and training kits were consumed in the inferno.
In less than 24 hours of the ugly incident involving Wikki Tourists, players and officials of Adamawa United were attacked and robbed by gunmen while on their way to Lagos to honour their match with MFM.

The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) yesterday, condemned in strong terms the attack on players and officials of a Nigerian Professional Football League team, Adamawa United while on their way to honour a Match day 11 fixture with MFM FC of Lagos.
The body also wants security agencies to leave no stone unturned in the effort to rescue the Team bus’ driver, Kabiru Mohammed, who was abducted by the attackers who are now asking for a staggering sum of N40million ransom.
The criminals dispossessed the players of all their belongings including cash and phones during the attack that took place on the Benin-Ore highway.
