Niger Tornadoes have moved decisively in the transfer market, securing the signature of midfielder Usman Audu from El-Kanemi Warriors. The Ikon Allah Boys confirmed the arrival of the highly-rated player, who becomes their sixth new addition in a busy window.
Audu’s switch to the Minna-based club carries a familiar thread, as he reunites with head coach Kabiru Dogo. The pair worked together at El-Kanemi Warriors last season, where Audu flourished under Dogo’s guidance. His performances were instrumental in the Borno Army’s memorable President Federation Cup triumph, a campaign that put him firmly on the radar of several top-flight clubs.
The move comes as Niger Tornadoes look to rebuild after losing a number of key players during the off-season. The club had already announced the arrival of five new faces last week, and Audu’s addition signals a clear intent to compete strongly in the upcoming NPFL campaign. With Dogo at the helm, the team is banking on the familiarity and trust between coach and player to accelerate their integration and restore stability to the squad.
