The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has lifted the suspension imposed on Bendel Insurance head coach Kennedy Boboye. This decision permits Boboye to return to his role before the start of the 2026-27 season. The NPFL informed this move in a letter signed by Chief Operating Officer Davidson Owumi on Wednesday.
Upon reviewing Boboye's written apology, the NPFL Board considered his good conduct during the sanction period, as well as his previous contributions to the country as both a player and a technical member of the national team. Consequently, the Board decided to suspend the remainder of Boboye's punishment.
However, the NPFL has emphasized that the suspended portion will be served during the occurrence of similar misconduct in the upcoming season. Recalling the incident, Boboye was found guilty of gross misconduct toward a match official following Bendel Insurance's 2-2 draw against Plateau United at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City. As a result, he faced a 17-match suspension and was required to pay a fine.
