Match19 Aug 2026

Cup progress for El-Kanemi Warriors

A 2‑1 win over Kwara United, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Risilanu Ismail, 19, steals the show — 7.68

Marked 7.68 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mohammed Bangoura 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 El-Kanemi Warriors can pretend not to have heard.

Too dear: El-Kanemi Warriors walk away from Emmanuel Olisa

$41.0K was the most the club would pay and Remo Stars were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Tijani Adeloju

El-Kanemi Warriors asked and Shooting Stars said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match22 Aug 2026

Niger Tornadoes take the points off El-Kanemi Warriors

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

One of their own: Risilanu Ismail

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market24 Aug 2026

Eyes on Usman Abubakar again

The phone has started ringing about Usman Abubakar again, and this time the name on the line is Laçi. El-Kanemi Warriors are listening politely and promising nothing.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Kehinde Lawal gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Kehinde Lawal arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Kehinde Lawal has, at El-Kanemi Warriors, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

No sign of nerves from Tosin Olawale at 21 — 7.88

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Tosin Olawale did not need any: 7.88, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

El-Kanemi Warriors go back to the board over Emmanuel Olisa

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $44.5K — a club that wants Emmanuel Olisa enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

El-Kanemi Warriors make their move for Emmanuel Olisa

$41.0K on the table at Remo Stars. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Joel Odoh will join El-Kanemi Warriors for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Joel Odoh has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means El-Kanemi Warriors have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Moses Moffi

El-Kanemi Warriors asked and Liberty Professionals said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at El-Kanemi Warriors

David Idaiye and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The formation has left Kehinde Lawal behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. El-Kanemi Warriors will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Market17 Aug 2026

El-Kanemi Warriors and Ebuka Akobundu are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

In brief
