Bendel Insurance FC coach Boboye has been cleared to return to the touchline after the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Disciplinary Committee suspended the sanction previously imposed on him.
The decision follows a careful review of the case, including an appeal submitted by Bendel Insurance and consideration of the coach’s conduct.
The committee subsequently resolved to suspend the sanction with immediate effect, paving the way for Boboye to resume his coaching duties.
The development means the experienced coach will be back on the bench when the Benin Arsenal begin their 2026/27 NPFL campaign against Warri Wolves.
The opening-day encounter is scheduled to take place in Benin on Sunday, August 30, giving Boboye the opportunity to lead his team from the technical area as Insurance begins preparations for the new season.
His return is expected to provide a significant boost to Bendel Insurance as the club looks to start the new campaign on a positive note.
Having his coach available on the touchline will also allow the team to benefit directly from his tactical instructions and match-day decisions.
The decision has been warmly received within the Bendel Insurance family, with the club expressing satisfaction with the outcome of the disciplinary review.
In its reaction, the club thanked the NPFL and its Disciplinary Committee for what it described as a fair consideration of the appeal and a favourable verdict.
The resolution also brings an end, for now, to the uncertainty surrounding Boboye’s availability for the opening fixture of the season.
With the coach now cleared to return, attention will shift to preparations for the clash with Warri Wolves, as Bendel Insurance aims to make a strong statement at the beginning of the 2026/27 NPFL season.
For the Benin Arsenal, the return of Boboye represents welcome news as the club prepares for another demanding campaign in Nigeria’s top-flight league.
