Ahmed Musa and Shehu Abdullahi are back in the Nigeria Premier Football League and have both signed a short-term contract with four time Champions, Kano Pillars.
Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa last played for Sivvaspor in the Turkiye Super Lig, and departed at the end of his two-year contract this summer.
The 31-year-old shared a tweet a few weeks ago on which local club in Nigeria should he join. There were lots of suggestions made by fans to the 2013 AFCON winner, but he has chosen to join his former club Kano Pillars for a third stint.
