ABS says goodbye to captain Boniface, Shadrack and Atoyebi

ABS Ilorin FC announces the departure of captain Timothy Boniface, Mujeeb Atoyebi and David Shadrack who have joined Lobi Stars FC ahead of the 2026/2027 season.

The club expresses its sincere gratitude to the trio for their dedication, hard work and invaluable contributions during their respective periods with the Saraki Boys.

Boniface spent four seasons with ABS Ilorin FC, serving as captain and providing leadership on and off the pitch. Shadrack completed two seasons at the club, while Atoyebi spent one season in the red and yellow colors.

As they embark on a new chapter with Lobi Stars FC, ABS Ilorin FC recognizes their service and wishes them continued success in the next steps in their professional careers.

The club remains grateful for their contributions and the memories created during their stay in Ilorin, wishing them the best in their future endeavours.
