Investigative Committee Silent on Kano Pillars Coach Suspension

By Ahmad Hamisu Gwale

The management of Kano Pillars FC has yet to address the prolonged suspension of head coach Usman Abdallah.

In August 2024, the club appointed Abdallah as Technical Adviser on a two-year contract with an option for a third. However, he was suspended for three weeks following the team’s poor performance and his confrontation with fans after a goalless draw against Bayelsa United on NPFL Matchday 22.

Abdallah later apologized on a local radio station, but the club extended his suspension beyond the NPFL Matchday 28 fixture against Kwara United. The investigative committee, led by Disciplinary Committee Chairman Alhaji Muhammad Danjuma Gwarzo, has yet to announce its findings.

An anonymous source revealed that individuals posing as fans exert pressure on players and coaches for financial and material gains. Those who refuse reportedly face exclusion from the squad or harassment.

Kano Pillars’ inability to resolve Abdallah’s suspension after five weeks raises questions about the club’s management. Initially suspended for two weeks, the delay may have contractual implications. The club must decide whether to terminate his contract through mutual consent and compensation or reinstate him.

Efforts to obtain a response from Kano Pillars’ media department were unsuccessful.
