Obinna Nwaneri led Enyimba to victory in the Champions League

Celebrations have continued in Nigeria following Enyimba's victory in the African Champions League final on Sunday.

The Nigerian team's win on penalties over Etoile Sahel of Tunisia saw them become the first side to retain the trophy in 36 years.

On Monday, thousands of fans gathered outside the team hotel in Abuja to continue a raucous party that started immediately the match.

Many supporters made the journey to the Nigerian capital Abuja after Caf ruled that Enyimba's home stadium in Aba was not suitable to host the high-profile match.

"It's a great feat the boys have achieved," said football fan Charles Obi.

"Enyimba, Enyi, Enyimba, Enyi!" shouted a handful of fans who danced on a road adjacent to the hotel, carrying a mock coffin of their defeated opponents.

While the fans were celebrating, the players were being received at State House in Abuja by Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Yet the president was far from their only supporter.

"Yes, they have done it again and we are proud of them - for doing the double," another fan told BBC Sport.

"We pray that next year they will still continue to do it, at least a third time. That's what we are praying for."

"I'm so excited, I knew they would do it and they make us so proud. It's a Christmas gift for everybody," was the reaction from another jubilant supporter.

Back in Aba, followers of the club also known as the People's Elephant were equally overjoyed.

"Aba has been drinking and dancing, we have been out in the streets all night long," one fan told BBC Sport from Aba.

"Everybody is happy and there are shouts of Enyimba, Enyimba all over the place."

After Enyimba won the match, fans poured onto the Abuja pitch and ripped up advertising hoardings as officials and players ran to the dressing rooms.

The presentation of the trophy had to be delayed by an hour as police struggled to restore order but there were no reports of serious incidents after the match.
