BUA Group has dismissed reports claiming that it has submitted a bid to acquire a 70 per cent stake in Nigeria Premier Football League side Kano Pillars, describing the publication as false and misleading.

In a statement issued on Monday, the company said neither BUA Group nor its Chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu, had initiated any process or held discussions regarding the acquisition of shares in the Kano-based club.

“Our attention has been drawn to an online publication suggesting that BUA Group and its Chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu, have submitted a bid to acquire a 70 per cent stake in Kano Pillars Football Club.

“We would like to clarify that this report is inaccurate and does not reflect any position, action or communication from BUA Group or Abdul Samad Rabiu. No such bid has been made, and there has been no engagement with any party on this matter.”

The conglomerate urged members of the public and the media to disregard the report and rely solely on information released through its verified communication channels.

“We kindly request that this report be disregarded, and we encourage the public and members of the press to rely only on official statements issued through BUA Group’s verified channels for accurate information regarding our activities.”

The company also thanked the public for its continued support and understanding, reiterating its commitment to transparent communication whenever there are developments concerning its business interests.
