Despite the early confidence on the pitch and in the stands, the home side failed to spark. Nigeria was left stunned as Francis Kahata gave the Kenyans the early lead with a sweetly struck free kick in the 37th minute.
Elderson Echiejile brought down his man leading to the dangerous free kick that resulted in the shock opener for Kenya.
Kenya preserved their lead into the half time break, despite Nigeria being offered a glorious chance.
Nigeria went in at half time deflated, a far cry from their performance in South Africa. As the game wore on, it was looking like Nigeria's 13 match unbeaten run was going to come to an end.
The pressure put on the Harambee Stars by the Eagles finally paid off in the 93rd when Nnamadi Oduamadi profiting from a 6-yard scramble to spare Nigeria's blushes.
The Super Eagle have to improve in upcoming games.
