​Yohanna primarily operates on the right wing for AIK, where the left-footed attacker enjoys cutting inside to score or assist goals. Born and raised in Bauchi, Nigeria, he was signed by AIK in June 2025.

​He made his professional debut for the club on August 17, 2025, appearing as a late substitute against IFK Göteborg. Just three days later, Yohanna earned his first start in a Svenska Cupen qualifier against Hudiksvalls FF, playing the full 90 minutes in a dominant 7-0 victory.

​His clinical nature in front of goal became evident on March 9, 2026, when he scored his first two goals for the club in a 4-0 cup win over BK Häcken at the Strawberry Arena. He followed this up with a headed goal against GAIS in the Svenska Cupen quarterfinals, though AIK was ultimately eliminated following a narrow 2-3 defeat.
