The striker who has shone this season for Galatasaray, opened the scoring with a side-footed finish from Ademola Lookman’s free-kick.
Osimhen doubled the Eagles’ advantage after stealing the ball on the halfway line and dinking it over the goalkeeper.
The result takes the three-time African champions up to third place in the group, following South Africa’s 2-0 win over Lesotho.
Chelle’s men will face Zimbabwe next on Tuesday.
