Okafor, 31, is eager to rejuvenate his career with Lobi Stars. He is anticipated to make an immediate impact, with his debut scheduled for the matchday 20 clash against his former team, Heartland, in Owerri this Sunday.

His experience and goal-scoring abilities could prove vital for Lobi Stars as they seek to climb the league table.

In other developments in the NPFL, Akwa United have bolstered their squad by signing five new players as they approach the second half of the season.

Notable additions include forward Uche Sabastine and midfielders Ogar Sabastine and Samuel Tochukwu, all of whom have made the transition from PSports Academy.

The team has also added Orji Chisom from Sporting Lagos and brought in defender Adamu Umar from Sunshine Stars.

Furthermore, the right-back Asuquo Etiene is making a return to Akwa United after completing a loan spell with local rivals Dakkada FC.

Currently facing challenges in the league, Akwa United finds themselves in 19th place in the NPFL standings.

The Uyo-based club will be looking to improve their fortunes as they prepare to host table leaders Remo Stars in an important matchday 20 encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium this Sunday.

The upcoming match is crucial for both teams, especially for Akwa United as they aim to climb out of the relegation zone.
