The aircraft carrying the Nigerian Football team and staff was en route to the Benghazi airport in Libya before they were given last minute orders to land at the Al Abraq International airport, some 300km away from their intended destination.
The Super Eagles were left at the Airport for over thirteen hours without food and access to internet, which led to the team’s decision to pull out of the game as they returned safely to Nigeria yesterday evening.
In response to the turn of events, the Libyan football federation took to their official X page to denounce reports of an unfair treatment of the Super Eagles. Instead, they revealed the blame was on Nigeria for an occurrence that happened with the Libyan team en route to Uyo.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF), have also put out an official statement, revealing investigations are now underway as they look to sift through the quick turn of events over the last few days.
