The Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national football team, have returned to Nigeria following a distressing situation in Libya.
The team, scheduled for an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya’s Mediterranean Knights, decided to cancel the match due to mistreatment by Libyan authorities.
The team endured over 12 hours of delay at the wrong airport, facing inadequate conditions, including a lack of food and aviation fuel. Upon their arrival in Kano, they were processed through immigration.
Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, quickly acted on the issue, summoning Libya’s chargé d’affaires for a resolution.
The incident has drawn widespread concern globally.
