FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Striker Babatunde Adepoju Crowned August's HTD Player of the Month
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets forward Babatunde Adepoju has been awarded the Men's HTD Player of the Month for August following an exceptional run of form that saw him contribute directly to ten goals in just three matches.
Babatunde's impressive displays earned him 41.59% of the fan votes, making him the clear favorite among the nominees. Chikumbutso Salima finished second with 31.19%, while Innocent Nyasulu and Paul Master claimed 20.80% and 6.42%, respectively.
Babatunde's August Heroics
The Nigerian striker was on fire throughout August, producing standout performances that helped Big Bullets surge back to the summit of the TNM Super League table and progress to the Round of 16 in the FDH Bank Cup.
He started the month by coming off the bench to disrupt Mafco FC's backline and create space for Salima to score the winner in a 1-0 away victory. In the FDH Bank Cup Round of 32, Babatunde ran riot as Big Bullets cruised to a 5-0 victory over Chilumba Barracks, scoring four goals and providing one assist in a dominant display.
In the league, Babatunde continued his fine form with another goal from the penalty spot in a 2-0 win over Chitipa United. He then wrapped up the month with a brilliant brace and an assist in a 3-1 triumph against Songwe Border United in Karonga.
Consistent Performers Salima and Nyasulu Also Nominated
August's nominees also included two consistent performers from the previous month – Chikumbutso Salima and Innocent Nyasulu, both earning back-to-back nominations.
Salima's electric wing play and ability to win decisive fouls and penalties were key to Big Bullets' unbeaten month. Goalkeeper Nyasulu, meanwhile, made crucial saves, including a penalty stop against Songwe, to keep The People's Team in control at the back.
Impactful Display Deserves Recognition
Babatunde's award is a reflection of not just goals, but impact – with each of his contributions proving decisive in the club's five-match unbeaten run in August.
It is the Nigerian's first HTD Player of the Month award of the 2025 season, and one well deserved based on his commanding displays in both league and cup fixtures.
Congratulations, Baba!
