Akor Adams got in by thumping his first goal of the tournament past Ernan Siluane.
Osimhen had started the game without wearing his trademark mask but restored the face covering before netting Nigeria’s second goal on 25 minutes. He then scored again just after half-time before Akor Adams sealed the win.
It is the biggest winning margin in an AFCON knockout tie since Egypt hammered Algeria 4-0 in the semi-finals at the 2010 tournament in Angola.
Nigeria will face Algeria or DR Congo in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
