Kano Pillars FC has suspended the club’s Technical Adviser, Usman Abdallah, for three weeks due to the team’s underperformance and his inappropriate behaviour towards fans.
The suspension, confirmed in a statement signed by club chairman Ali Umar on Sunday, follows the team’s disappointing goalless draw against Bayelsa United in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 22 on Sunday.

Umar explained that Abdallah’s behaviour towards supporters at the Sani Abacha Stadium contributed to the decision, alongside the team’s poor run of form, with only one win in their last three matches.
“The management was concerned about the team’s inconsistency and the performance level, as supporters expect much more from the squad,” the statement read.
During Abdallah’s suspension, Chief Coach Ahmed Yaro-Yaro will take charge of the team, supported by assistant coaches Abubakar Musa, Gambo Muhammad, Suleiman Shuaibu, and Ayuba Musa.

The club reiterated its commitment to maintaining professionalism and a respectful relationship with supporters, while focusing on their next NPFL fixture against Remo Stars in Ikenne, Ogun, where they hope to regain momentum and restore fan confidence.
Abdallah, who signed a two-year contract with Kano Pillars in August 2024 with an option for a third year, will resume his duties after the suspension.
