Match

No mercy from Warri Wolves

Kano Pillars will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Warri Wolves were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Market

Abdulateef Yusuff asks to leave Warri Wolves

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Abdulateef Yusuff is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Warri Wolves is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Abdulateef Yusuff signs for Rivers United while still at Warri Wolves

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Abdulateef Yusuff has agreed terms with Rivers United for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Alimi Adebayo 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 Warri Wolves this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Igbunu Evwierhurhoma at his very best

Marked 8.50. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Warri Wolves.

Player ratings

Chisom Orji in the eights

A performance of 8.33 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market

48 months and counting on Igbunu Evwierhurhoma

Still no offer on the table, and Igbunu Evwierhurhoma’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market

A long bet from Warri Wolves on Umar Obafemi

He is 14, and nobody at Warri Wolves signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

In brief
