Reigning Nigerian champions Remo Stars are strengthening their squad ahead of a demanding campaign that will see them defend their domestic crown and compete in the CAF Champions League.
The club has embarked on an aggressive recruitment strategy, with Beninese midfielder Jérôme Agossa Bonou among the standout acquisitions.
Bonou, who last played for Requins FC in Benin, has agreed a two-year deal with the Sky Blue Stars.
While the club has yet to make an official media announcement, the midfielder has already made an impact on the pitch during pre-season.
In his first appearance, Bonou scored in style, unleashing a thunderous shot from outside the penalty area to find the net in the 30th minute.
His goal helped secure a 2-1 victory for Remo Stars over Kwara United in the 2025 ValueJet Cup.
The performance offered an early glimpse of the creativity and firepower the Beninese international could bring to the team this season.
The 26-year-old is far from a newcomer to African football.
His career has taken him across the continent, with spells at clubs including Aspac and Coton FC in Benin, Djoliba AC in Mali, Académie Club Sportif/CNSS, and a stint in Djibouti.
Known for his vision, physicality, and ability to influence play in both attack and defence, Bonou is expected to provide Remo Stars with experience and versatility in midfield.
The Nigerian champions are aiming to maintain the momentum from their title-winning campaign, while making their presence felt in continental competition.
With the CAF Champions League expected to present stern challenges, Remo Stars are investing in players with both proven quality and the hunger to succeed at the highest level.
While fans await official confirmation from the club, excitement is already building in Ikenne over Bonou’s arrival.
30’ GOAL! Remo ahead.
What a goal from Remo Stars.
A one-two pass from Adama Goita and Jerome Bonou. Jerome finishes it off with a long range shot and Suraj Ayeleso can’t save that.

His quick adaptation and instant impact in a competitive fixture suggest he could become a key figure in Daniel Ogunmodede’s plans for the season.
For Bonou, the move represents an opportunity to test himself in one of Africa’s most competitive leagues, while helping guide Remo Stars towards domestic dominance and continental recognition.
As pre-season progresses, his role in shaping the club’s fortunes will be closely watched by supporters and analysts alike.
