Kano Pillars Football Club has extended the suspension of its technical adviser, Usman Abdallah, by one additional game. Abdallah was initially suspended until after the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 27 fixture against Rangers United.
The tactician is now expected to return after the Matchday 28 clash against Kwara United in Ilorin. Abdallah stated that the suspension is aimed at easing tensions among the club’s supporters.
DAILY MENTOR recalls that Abdallah was suspended following an alleged altercation with a section of the Kano Pillars supporters’ club after a Matchday 21 home draw against El-Kanemi Warriors.
“I’ve been told that the suspension has been extended by one more game, which is this weekend’s away match against Kwara United,” Abdallah told Complete Sports.
“I was also informed that this decision is aimed at further easing tensions among the supporters’ club.”
The extension of Abdallah’s suspension highlights the club’s efforts to maintain harmony and focus as they navigate the NPFL season. Fans and stakeholders will be keen to see how the team performs in his absence and upon his return.
