They are a point above bottom-placed Gallants.
Akpeyi has made over 110 appearances in the PSL and he has 18 international caps for Nigeria.
He was a member of the Flying Eagles that finished second at the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Holland, he was also part of the Dream Team squad that claimed bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
