Enyimba got three wins out of three as they beat JUTH 1-0 in Jos on Wednesday in a rescheduled Premier League match.
Eze Otorogu scored in the 28th minute of the encounter, giving Enyimba a win that brought up allegations of bias against Odeniran.
Enyimba's media officer Tonnex Chukwu told KickOffNigeria.com after the match that the win has only proved that they were right when they said Odeniran was an enemy of Enyimba.
"Last season we could have beaten JUTH in Jos but were robbed by Odeniran. We cried blue murder but critics said we were only crying wolf when there was none.
"This season we have beaten them right on their ground and the goal came from Otorogu in the 28th minute. The same player who scored against them in Jos last year scored at the same time, yet his goal was disallowed by Odeniran.
"I believe God is trying to put him to shame," Chukwu said.
But KickOffNigeria.com wonders why James Odeniran, an unfit referee was allowed to hold a whistle and be at the centre in a Premier League match this season when he failed the Cooper Test before the season started and was not billed to officiate this year.
