The decision came on the heels of the two consecutive defeats the People's Elephant suffered in the Globacom Premier League in one week.
Enyimba first lost 0-1 lto city rivals, Abia Warriors at home and also lost by the same margin to FC Taraba last Sunday in Jalingo in a week five game.
Baraje who once handled Shooting Stars Sports club, Niger Tornadoes, Gombe United took over the Aba side as head coach last December from El-Kanemi Warriors.
His woes began with the exit of Enyimba from this year's CAF Champions League. Enyimba lost 1-2 in Aba to As Real Bamako of Mali while they won the return leg tie 1-0 but the scoreline was not good enough to see the Nigerian side through as they crashed out on away goal rule.
Though, no official statement from Enyimba yet on the suspension of the duo, a source said the decision is as good as sealed.
"Coaches Baraje and Monday Odigie won't be part of the technical crew in our next match. They have been suspended indefinitely. Before the game against Taraba, the management had issued them an ultimatum to win or face the consequence and that is just it," owned up the source.
Already, one of the assistant coaches, Imama Amapakabo has taken over the People's Elephant and
will be fully in charge in Wednesday's rescheduled league game in Warri against Warri Wolves,
Enyimba occupy the 14th position on the table with four points from four games.
