In a dramatic turn of events, the Super Eagles of Nigeria, along with officials from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), are now boarding a flight to return home after enduring a frustrating and lengthy delay in Libya.
The decision comes after the team faced over 15 hours of being stranded at the airport due to a diversion from their intended destination of Benghazi.
Players had expressed their concerns on social media, stating they were no longer interested in continuing with the AFCON qualifiers match against Libya, citing fears for their safety.
With their departure now confirmed, the players and officials are expected to arrive back in Nigeria shortly, bringing an end to a tumultuous episode in their campaign.
Further updates on the team’s future plans are anticipated as they regroup following this challenging experience.
