As the commencement of the 2022/2023 NPFL season draws near, the Ikon Allah Boys are boosted with the full return to training of Babatunde Solomon, Lukman Mohammed, Shamsudeen Hashim, Dennis Mse and Nurudeen Jimoh.
The players who have been on the sideline for several weeks as a result of various injuries, forcing them to miss out in some of the team’s pre-season activities, including the recently concluded Gusau/Ahlan Cup competition where the Ikon Allah Boys emerged champions.
The timely return of the players, is no doubt, a big boost for Niger Tornadoes, as training has been intensified since the return from Kano as preparation for the new league season gathers momentum.
Shamsudeen Hashim and Lukman Mohammed were an integral part of the team last season and played vital roles, while, high profile center back Babatunde Solomon who joined the Ikon Allah Boys for a second time stint had an impressive start to the pre-season before injury cut short his good run.
Dennis Mse and Nurudeen Jimoh, both young prospects, also recovered from a nagging injury and are fully back for the forthcoming league campaign.
