An own goal from Babangida Hassan in the 22nd minute gifted Heartland the lead before goals from Azeez Shobowale in the 41st minute and Rabiu Ali from the spot in the 80th minute gave the champions the three points.
Table-toppers Enyimba on maintained their lead with a 2-2 draw against Akwa United in Uyo.
