Rangers International emerged champions of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League season after a dramatic 2-1 away victory over Ikorodu City on the final day of the campaign.

Midfielder Chidiebere Nwobodo proved to be the hero for the Flying Antelopes, scoring twice in the 30th and 52nd minutes before Moses Ali pulled one back for Ikorodu City in the 58th minute. The crucial victory saw Rangers finish top of the table with 68 points, sealing their second NPFL title in three seasons.

Title rivals Rivers United kept up the pressure with an emphatic 3-0 win over Katsina United in Port Harcourt. Chijioke Mbaoma netted a brace while Aniekeme Okon also got on the scoresheet, but the result was not enough as Rivers United finished one point behind the champions on 67 points.

At the bottom of the table, Remo Stars’ fate remains uncertain following a 1-1 draw against Bendel Insurance in Benin City. Victor Mbaoma had given the Sky Blue Stars the lead in the first half, but Chijioke Akuneto struck deep into stoppage time to deny them a crucial victory.

However, Remo Stars’ survival will now depend on the outcome of the postponed Kun Khalifat match, which was disrupted by heavy rainfall and will be concluded on Monday morning. A victory for Kun Khalifat would confirm Remo Stars’ relegation to the Nigeria National League.

Elsewhere, Shooting Stars lost 1-0 to Niger Tornadoes but still secured a CAF Confederation Cup ticket after finishing third on the table.

Other final-day results saw Enyimba thrash El-Kanemi Warriors 3-0, while Bayelsa United hammered Kwara United 4-0.

In Akure, Warri Wolves boosted their survival hopes with a 2-1 victory over Abia Warriors, while Plateau United edged Kano Pillars 1-0 thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time strike from Victor Dawa.

Bayelsa United and Wikki Tourists have already been confirmed relegated to the Nigeria National League.

The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested two men over alleged possession of stolen cattle and an attempted bribery in Alkaleri Local Government Area of the state.

The suspects, identified as 26-year-old Abdullahi Adamu and 20-year-old Muktashir Idris, are residents of Jarmai Village, Dangi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The spokesman of the command, in a statement issued on Sunday, said the suspects were arrested after two residents of Yalo Village, Alkaleri LGA, reported the rustling of 103 cattle by unknown gunmen in July 2026.

According to the statement, the complainants reported the incident at the Alkaleri Divisional Headquarters on August 6, 2026.

It said police operatives, acting on the report, proceeded to Mararaban Liman Katagum, where the complainants identified three of their missing cattle.

The statement added that a traditional leader in the area subsequently assisted the police in arresting the two suspects, who were brought to the police division on August 7.

During interrogation, Idris allegedly confessed that he was sent by his master, identified as Alaba, to sell the stolen cattle.

The police said efforts were ongoing to arrest Alaba.

The command further disclosed that the investigation uncovered an alleged attempt to compromise the case with N400,000.

According to the police, a brother of one of the complainants informed investigators that Alaba had sent him the money to compromise the case, leading to the recovery of the cash as an exhibit.

The police said the man had earlier promised to assist in facilitating Alaba’s arrest but failed to do so.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, ordered the transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for discreet investigation.

The suspects are expected to be charged to court after the completion of the investigation.
