Tokumbo "Tumbo" Abanikanda (pronounced: A-banna-conda)[1] (born December 25, 1986) is a former professional American and Canadian football linebacker.
[4] After going undrafted in the 2009 NFL draft, Abanikanda was invited to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie camp, but was not signed.
[4] After the release of Derrick Doggett on June 10,[6] Abanikanda's main competition for the starting weakside linebacker spot[7] is fellow import rookie Mark Restelli also in his first year with Edmonton.
[9] Eskimos head coach Richie Hall has called Abanikanda and Restelli's battle the closest one in camp so far.
[6] Eventually, he was released on June 25, 2009, as a final cut with Restelli winning the job, however he could end up on the Eskimos' practice roster.
