Kano Pillars Abdallah‘s suspension extended as NPFL rescheduled matches
The management of Kano Pillars FC, led by Chairman Ali Muhammad Umar, has extended the suspension of Technical Adviser Usman Abdallah until after the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 28 fixture against Kwara United.
The decision made during a management meeting on Sunday at the Sani Abacha Stadium follows a request from the investigative committee led by Disciplinary Committee Chairman, Muhammad Danjuma Gwarzo, which is yet to conclude its findings.
In the meantime, Chief Coach, Ahmed Garba Yaro Yaro will continue to lead the team in upcoming matches against Akwa United on Wednesday, Rangers International at the weekend, and Kwara United on Matchday 28.
Kano Pillars FC remains committed to professionalism and discipline as the club progresses in the NPFL.

The games involved are Rivers United versus Katsina United and Bendel Insurance’s encounter with Ikorodu City.
Both games which were initially billed to take place on Wednesday, February 26th will now be played on Thursday, February 27th.
The remaining matchday 26 fixtures will be played on Wednesday.
The NPFL Chief Operating Officer, Davidson Owumi disclosed this in a memo on Sunday.
Owumi stated that the rearrangement of the fixtures was necessitated by broadcast demands.
He urged NPFL teams to ensure adequate and necessary measures are put in place for hitch-free games.
