El-Kanemi Warriors ended the 2005 season in the lower half of the
Nigeria Premier League, and were relegated to the
Nigeria Division 1 in 2007. In 2012, they were promoted back to the top level. Due to the
Boko Haram insurgency in 2014, they played their home games in
Kano. From 2015 to 2016, they hosted their home games at the
Muhammadu Dikko Stadium in
Katsina before returning to
Maiduguri and

Enugu Rangers coach Imama Amapakabo as their new coach on a one-year deal. In June 2024, El-Kanemi Warriors regained promotion to the
Nigeria Premier Football League and later went on to win the Federation Cup after defeating
Abia Warriors 2–0 at the
Mobolaji Johnson Arena. ==Achievements==
