Kutlwano Letlhaku in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kano Pillars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Usman Fahad falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad30 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Junior Aliyu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Auwalu Ali Malam breaks a bone — 97 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 97 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match5 Sep 2026

Nowhere to hide for Kano Pillars

0‑3 against Rivers United, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Olakunle Akala puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Kano Pillars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Eyes on Mujahid Ibrahim again

The phone has started ringing about Mujahid Ibrahim again, and this time the name on the line is Plateau United. Kano Pillars are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A fracture rules Auwalu Ali Malam out for 105 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Kano Pillars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Abuchi Okeke is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Abuchi Okeke: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match26 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Kano Pillars

1‑1 against El-Kanemi Warriors, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market31 Aug 2026

Kano Pillars turn down Barau for Junior Aliyu

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market31 Aug 2026

Charles Tambe hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kano Pillars can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Williams Yikat

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Kano Pillars

Abuchi Okeke was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

Kano Pillars supporters have found a favourite in Aminu Mohammed

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Aminu Mohammed has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Muttaka Musa attracts admirers

The name of Muttaka Musa has come up in conversations Kano Pillars were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
