El-Kanemi Warriors FC of Maiduguri are to resume playing their home games in Maiduguri following the return of peace to the troubled Borno State capital as a result of the subduing of Boko Haram terrorists by the Nigerian military.
A report in League Newswatch quoted a source as disclosing that the decision of the club to return to Maiduguri was taken after a careful review of the security situation in the state particularly Maiduguri, the state capital.
It would be recalled that El-Kanemi Warriors were forced out of the Borno State capital by the activities of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram as Maiduguri was declared unsafe for football activities. This security challenge made the Borno Government-financed club to adopt Kano as their home ground. However, with the insurgents driven out of almost all the local government areas of the state and with life gradually returning to normalcy, the club therefore, deemed it necessary to return to their base. It is expected that there won’t be any security threat as the league resumes next month.
