"I want to thank the people of DFCO @dfco_officiel for the warm and excellent reception and the opportunity they gave me to train with their first team," Enyeama wrote on Instagram. 

"I have only good words and memories of you guys. I wish you all the best for the season. Go and show the championship what a great family you are. Good luck."
