Benin Republic international goalkeeper Obassa Adebiyi is reportedly on the verge of joining Kano Pillars as the club continues preparations for the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign.

The experienced shot-stopper has been training with the Kano-based club in recent days, fueling speculation that an official announcement could be made before the start of the new season.

Club officials are believed to be assessing his performances before finalizing the transfer.

Obassa is keen to continue his career in the NPFL after the end of his spell with Remo Stars. Having established himself as one of the league’s dependable goalkeepers, he is looking to remain in Nigeria’s top flight and contribute his experience to a new team.

A move to Kano Pillars would also see the goalkeeper reunite with head coach Daniel Ogunmodede, under whom he previously enjoyed success.

The pair worked together during their time at Remo Stars, where they celebrated a memorable league title-winning campaign, building a strong professional relationship along the way.

Kano Pillars are expected to strengthen several areas of the squad as they aim to compete strongly in the upcoming season.

Adding an experienced goalkeeper like Obassa would provide greater stability and competition within the team’s defensive unit.

The club’s management is expected to reach a final decision on the transfer before the new NPFL season gets underway.

If the deal is completed, Obassa will become one of Kano Pillars’ key additions as they look to challenge for honours and improve on their previous performances.

Supporters will now be waiting for official confirmation as the club continues to reshape its squad ahead of another demanding league campaign.
