The Owerri-based club had announced their withdrawal on Wednesday over what they described as excessive and non-transparent sanctions but confirmed their return less than 24 hours later after “positive discussions” with the League Management Board.

In a statement released yesterday, the club said it was ready to put the dispute behind them and focus fully on football, while appreciating the league’s willingness to engage constructively.

Earlier, Kun Khalifat had criticised the NPFL’s disciplinary process, insisting they provided valid reasons for failing to honour a fixture and accusing the league of bias and lack of transparency.
