Bendel Insurance have strengthened their squad for the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season with the signing of left-back Nwokeji Chukwuemeka Godstime from Enyimba FC, Boldsports report.
The Benin-based club confirmed the transfer on their official Facebook page, announcing that the defender has signed a two-year contract as preparations continue for the new campaign.
Godstime made 10 appearances for Enyimba during the previous season. He did not score or register an assist, but his consistent defensive displays earned him valuable first-team minutes. His arrival gives Bendel Insurance another option at left-back as the club continues to reinforce its defence before the new NPFL season.
The announcement underlines Bendel Insurance’s intent to build a stronger back line ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. The club described the defender as an intelligent addition to its squad and welcomed him to Benin.
The statement read:
”Agreement reached. Deal signed.
A new Left back force arrives.
Let’s welcome Nwokeji Chukwuemeka Godstime to Bendel Insurance family.
The intelligent defender joins the Benin Arsenals from Enyimba FC on a two-year deal.
Our defence reinforcement continues
Welcome to Benin, Godstime. Adaaa Bendel!”
The move marks another step in Bendel Insurance’s recruitment drive as the club looks to improve on last season’s performances and compete strongly in the upcoming NPFL campaign.
Godstime now begins a fresh chapter in Benin City after leaving Enyimba. He will aim to establish himself as a regular starter and help Bendel Insurance build a solid defensive unit throughout the 2026/27 season.
Supporters will be eager to see how quickly the left-back adapts to his new surroundings as the Benin Arsenals continue assembling their squad before the league kicks off.
