Ranchers Bees midfielder Tijani Kabiru made his 100th Nigeria Premier Football League appearance during the club’s 1-0 win over Enyimba on Matchday 12 of the 2026/27 season.
The Kaduna-based side marked the occasion by congratulating the 2022/23 NPFL champion, who previously won the title with Enyimba before moving on in his career.
Ranchers Bees posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on November 9, 2026: “Congratulations to Tijani Kabiru on reaching 100 appearances in the NPFL during our victory over Enyimba. A special milestone. Well deserved, Kabiru! ??.”
Kabiru, who joined Ranchers Bees from Shooting Stars in August 2026, reached the landmark as his new team secured an important victory over the nine-time NPFL champions.
Chiedozie Jude Okorie scored the only goal late in the first half, finding the net with a long-range strike to give Ranchers Bees all three points.
The result lifted Ranchers Bees up the table as they continue their return to the top flight. Known as the Pride of Kaduna, the club are rebuilding after a long absence from the NPFL.
Enyimba, meanwhile, remained in the lower part of the standings, with the defeat leaving them facing deeper relegation concerns.
Kabiru’s milestone adds to an association with Enyimba that has remained positive despite his move to another club. He has previously spoken favourably about his time with the Aba side and has said he does not celebrate when he scores against them.
The midfielder’s arrival at Ranchers Bees brought top-flight experience to a team adjusting to life back in the NPFL. His 100 appearances represent a significant individual achievement in a highly competitive league.
