The Matchday 2 fixture between El-Kanemi Warriors FC and Kwara United FC, originally scheduled for this Sunday, September 15, has been postponed. The postponement comes in response to a severe flood disaster currently affecting Borno State, where El-Kanemi Warriors FC is based. The Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) made the decision to prioritize the safety of the players, officials, and fans in light of the natural disaster.
Borno State has been experiencing heavy rainfall, leading to widespread flooding that has disrupted daily life and activities across the region. The floods have caused significant damage to infrastructure, including roads and transportation networks, making it challenging for teams and fans to safely travel to and from the venue. In addition, local emergency services and government agencies are focused on managing the immediate crisis and providing relief to affected communities.
The NPFL is expected to announce a new date for the match once the situation in Borno State stabilizes. The league remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all stakeholders while delivering a competitive and entertaining season. Both El-Kanemi Warriors FC and Kwara United FC have expressed their understanding and support for the decision, acknowledging the need to prioritize public safety in times of natural disaster.
