Bendel Insurance on Wednesday consolidated on their first spot on the table, defeating Ikorodu City FC 2-0 at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.
Two second-half goals from Deputy Echeta and Imade Osarenkhoe were enough to see the Edo-based club get past their opponents from Lagos.
The loss means that Ikorodu City FC are now without a win from their last two games.
They currently sit 7th on the table, a far-cry from the second position they were in a fortnight ago.
