Tarabina Biweribo: Nigerian defender swaps Plateau United for Kano Pillars in NPFL move

Nigerian centre-back Tarabina Biweribo has joined Kano Pillars from NPFL rivals Plateau United in a completed transfer that strengthens the Kano club’s defensive options ahead of the new campaign.

The 23-year-old moves within the Nigeria Premier Football League after establishing himself as a central defender at Plateau United. The deal is a full switch between two of the country’s leading top-flight sides, underlining Pillars’ intent to reinforce their back line with domestic talent in its early peak years.

Biweribo, who is listed with a market value of around €50,000, adds height and physical presence in the heart of defence and fits the profile of players Kano Pillars have increasingly targeted from within the NPFL. His arrival offers the technical crew an additional option in central areas, where squad depth is often tested across a long league season.

Having developed his reputation at Plateau United, Biweribo now moves into a new environment at one of Nigeria’s best-known clubs, with expectations of adapting quickly to a different style and dressing room. The transfer also continues the trend of movement between established NPFL sides as they reshape squads to remain competitive in the domestic title race.

The deal, completed on 24 July 2026, sees Biweribo registered as a Kano Pillars player for the forthcoming NPFL season.
