The tie which is a second leg encounter was scheduled to be played on Wednesday, March 8 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, but the Visitors didn't show up.
According to reports, the Congolese side had not arrived Nigeria as at the time of kick off which had brought about the calling off of the game on Wednesday.
The Pride of Rivers had won the first leg by a goal to nil at the Estádio 11 de Novembro in Luanda, Angola about a fortnight ago.
The Nigeria League reigning champions have six points after three games and a win against the Kinshasa based club will take them a step closer to the next round of the Confederation Cup.
