Eight Players Depart Kano Pillars as Club Commences Major Rebuild

Kano Pillars have released eight players after their contracts expired, according to reports. Bernard Ovoke, Christian Izuchukwu, Sudais Ali Baba, Aliyu Yakubu, Muhammad Galadima, Ugochukwu Gabriel, Zahraddeen Bello and Williams Ayuba will leave the four-time NPFL champions. The club expressed gratitude for the departing players’ dedication and professionalism during their time at Sai Masu Gida. Last season proved challenging as Pillars secured their league status on the final day and exited early from the President Cup. Ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, Kano Pillars are undergoing a major squad overhaul. Head coach Mohammed Babaganaru, who steered the team clear of relegation, is expected to remain at the helm.
