Chalking up five goals as Stuttgarter Kickers got three points four times in a row leading up to December 2005,[6] Akuwegbu contract ended with the Kickers next July, but engaged in a conflict with them,[7] stating that his contract was still valid until 2007.[8] However, extenuating circumstances allowed the management to officially end the contract. The Nigerian-Austrian then went on to stay with SV Sandhausen[9] until 2008 and SV Elversberg[10] until 2009.[11]
Hitting a hat-trick on his debut as Sporting Clube de Goa put six past Malabar United at the 2010 Indian Federation Cup,[12] the former Lens man was involved in a road accident that fall, causing him to be sidelined[13] and eventually released.[14]
