The goal lasted just 11 minutes before second half substitute Olamilekan gave the Sky Blues a deserved equaliser with nine minutes to go.
Six minutes later, it was the visitors who stole all the points as another Lekan, this time, Olalekan, with the winner to break the hearts of the home fans.
The victory was the first for Daniel Ogunmodede and his Sky Blues in Jos and sees them move up to second place in Group A with just a game left to play.
