Niger Tornadoes have moved decisively to strengthen their frontline, securing the signature of experienced forward Wasiu Jimoh from Nigeria National League side Bichi First FC. The Minna-based club, known affectionately as the Ikon Allah Boys, sees the bulky hitman as a key piece in their quest for a more potent attack under head coach Kabiru Dogo.
Jimoh is no stranger to the rigors of the Nigeria Professional Football League, having racked up 139 appearances and found the back of the net 18 times. His journey through the domestic circuit has seen him don the jerseys of Kwara United, Kano Pillars, and Shooting Stars, proving his adaptability and staying power in a demanding league.
The forward’s pedigree was further cemented in 2025 when he lifted the President Federation Cup with Kwara United, a triumph that showcased his knack for delivering on the big stage. That winning mentality is exactly what Niger Tornadoes need as they navigate a period of transition, having waved goodbye to several key players during the offseason.
For a club in rebuild mode, Jimoh’s arrival is more than just a transfer—it’s a statement of intent. His physical presence, tactical awareness, and wealth of experience are expected to provide the cutting edge that Dogo’s side craves. While the squad may be younger and less tested, the addition of a proven campaigner like Jimoh offers a steadying hand and a reliable outlet in the final third.
Tornadoes fans will be hoping that Jimoh’s know-how translates into goals and stability as the new season looms. If his past exploits are anything to go by, the Ikon Allah Boys may have just found the spark to ignite their campaign.
