Kano Pillars head coach, Usman Abdallah has revealed that the duo of Ahmed Musa and Shehu Abdullahi have joined the team.
Abdallah further disclosed that the duo have been training with the squad for some time and that they are in contention for Sunday’s NPFL game against Sunshine Stars.

Musa had hinted a return to the league, last month, in a social media post with speculations rife about him rejoining Pillars reported by Brila.net.

The Super Eagles winger has been without a club since leaving Sivasspor at the end of last season.

Meanwhile, Shehu Abdullah has not played competitive football since 2023 after he left Levski Sofia.

Abdullahi, 31, had previously played for Pillars joining them in 2012 as a free agent.

Though the two national team players have been celebrated for their decision to return to the Nigerian league, it’s unclear if both were registered for the new season – being that the window closed last month.
