History

1980s

Originally known as the DIC (Defense Industry Corp.) Bees, they were bought by Alhadji Muktar Mohammed Aruwa in the 1980s and renamed "Ranchers Bees."[3]

DIC Bees participated in the 1983 Nigerian first division but lost the 1983 Nigerian Cup to Enugu Rangers on penalty kicks.[4]

2000s

They were promoted to the Nigeria Premier League after the 2008–09 season by finishing second in the Nigeria Division 1 with 51 points. For the 2009–10 season, they played some matches in Kano as their stadium was being prepared for the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup. They finished the season banished to Calabar and then Minna after fans attacked referees at a home game against Sunshine Stars F.C. They were relegated to the Nigeria National League with two games left after a 6–0 loss at Kwara United F.C.
