NPFL Transfer: Bashir Musa Joins Niger Tornadoes on Two-Year Deal After El-Kanemi Warriors Exit

Niger Tornadoes have officially strengthened their squad ahead of the new Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season with the signing of striker Bashir Musa from El-Kanemi Warriors.

The experienced forward has signed a two-year contract with the Minna-based club, popularly known as the Ikon Allah Boys, as preparations continue for the upcoming campaign.

Musa Reunites With Former Coach Kabiru Dogo

One of the biggest factors behind the move is Musa’s reunion with Kabiru Dogo, who managed him at El-Kanemi Warriors during the previous season.

The pair enjoyed a productive working relationship, and Tornadoes will be hoping that familiarity helps the striker settle quickly and make an immediate impact.

Musa’s arrival is expected to add more attacking quality and experience to the squad as the club aims to compete strongly in the NPFL.

Federation Cup Hero Strengthens Tornadoes Attack

The striker was one of El-Kanemi Warriors’ standout performers last season and played an important role in the club’s successful President Federation Cup campaign.

His performances throughout the season earned praise for his attacking contributions, making him one of the notable players to attract interest during the current transfer window.

Before joining El-Kanemi Warriors, Musa also featured for Sokoto United, where he continued to build his reputation as a reliable forward.

Niger Tornadoes Continue Squad Rebuild

Musa becomes one of the latest additions to a Niger Tornadoes side currently undergoing a significant rebuild following the departure of several key players.

Club officials are expected to remain active in the transfer market as they continue strengthening different areas of the team before the start of the 2026/27 NPFL season.

With more arrivals anticipated in the coming weeks, Niger Tornadoes are looking to assemble a competitive squad capable of challenging for improved results when the new campaign kicks off.
