Bendel Insurance’s resurgence under head coach Kennedy Boboye gathered major momentum on Saturday as the Benin Arsenal swept aside Wikki Tourists 3–0 in a commanding Matchday 15 performance.
The victory — Boboye’s second since taking charge — comes just 33 days after he recorded his first win, and signals a dramatic turnaround for a club that had been flirting with relegation.

Now, the “Heartbeat of the Nation” looks re-energised, with fans across Benin City and beyond celebrating a team that suddenly feels alive again.
Insurance were relentless from start to finish, overpowering a stunned Wikki Tourists who arrived optimistic but left Benin with more questions than answers.
The visitors, who have shown flashes of promise this season, were shocked by the intensity and sharpness of the Boboye-led side.
For Wikki Tourists, the trip to Benin turned into more of a sightseeing tour than a football contest — though they will return to Bauchi with lessons to digest ahead of Matchday 16.
For Bendel Insurance, however, this was a statement victory: a clear sign that the Boboye era has truly taken flight and that the club is steering confidently out of relegation waters.
