The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) lifts the suspension of Bendel Insurance head coach Kennedy Boboye, clearing him to return to the dugout ahead of the 2026–27 season. The NPFL communicates the decision in a letter signed by Chief Operating Officer Davidson Owumi.
Both outlets report that the action follows a prior suspension affecting Boboye’s match-day involvement. The Punch specifies the ban as a 17-game touchline restriction, while the Daily Post Nigeria describes the suspension more generally but notes the league’s formal move to end it. With the suspension lifted, Boboye is allowed to resume coaching duties as Bendel Insurance prepares for the upcoming season. Neither source indicates additional conditions or further disciplinary action in connection with the pardon.
Overall, the coverage converges on the same outcome: the NPFL reverses Boboye’s suspension and restores his eligibility to lead from the touchline for the next season.
