Okemiri is expected to resume duty at the club with immediate effect ahead of the commencement of the 2023-24 NPFL season.
The former defender would arguably be ranked as one of the best players to have played in the Nigerian top-flight.
Okemiri played for Enyimba, Abia Warriors, Kwara United and Nasarawa United during his active days.
The left-back was also once a key member of Nigeria’s Beach Eagles. READ ALSO:
